Here Paul,

This should help.  I'll get you some more photos soon to further illustrate the induction system.

30 feet.  The firewall is 44" wide X 28" tall.

Thanks again for all your help.

Chris

I was getting ready to use the 30 feet to scale the firewall :)
Do you really want to use two rads one on each side of the engine?
I think one underneath would be more practical.

Paul Lamar

....and easier too.  I'm certainly open to suggestions.  The question
is, practicality aside, which is more efficient?

Here's our philosophy; design it with way too much cooling, and adjust
as necessary.  The Cosman One had too much cooling capacity, it was much
easier to redo the inlets to get the temp back in line than it would
have been to come up with more cooling.  This is why we're leaning
towards 2 rads with the oil cooler underneath.

Are you willing to do curved side cowl flaps?
