Here's a side view of the engine/rad/cowl flap. The cowl flap

can close up to a 2" slot. The perspective distorts the
relationship of air inlet to the rad a little bit. The flap will
actually open

that far, at least on the ground, so that I can drain the fuel

filter/moisture separator, drain the oil and change the oil
filter without taking the whole cowl off. Don't think I'll try to
use it as

a speed brake.

Brian, that is starting to look like a very nice installation!  OMG that is
gong to be one huge spinner!  Don't short change the oil cooler, get it
fitted at the same time.
