Paul,  Two j-pegs showing the rad positioned under the engine.  The
piece of sheet metal represents the top of the plenum.   Louvers, when
closed add 3/4 inch to the bottom of the radiator.   Do  you see
anything stupid going on here?   Stop me before it is too late.

This week end I plan to remove the engine and tear it down for the P
Ports.   I bought a pint of the 600 degree epoxy.  Cost $59.00 !!!!

Question:

When modifying a rotary for air plane usage.  Is a thermostat still used
to control engine temp. Or is the system sized to handle the expected
load?

It can be used but it is better to use cowl flaps. Closing the flaps
when the cooling is not needed reduces the cooling drag. Worth at least
5 MPH at 180 MPH or so.
