Doug,

do what Flugwerk did with their "Continuation"-190: Put a fan behind the
Prop, turning at prop- speed with groundadjustable blades, so you can
roughly adjust it to different cooling needs according to climate - you want
to go around the globe......

Thanks Thomas,

I'll put this info in my files.  Great website by the way.
Now concentrating all limited gray matter on designing a turbo compound gear
box.

Guys,
If memory serves me well there were several Japanese aircraft
using a "cooling boost" fan. They were used on the air cooled engines also.
