Hello Paul

I am the fellow in the wheelchair and I enjoyed talking to you.

I would like to be put on the rotary newsletter list.

I will send you pictures of the Murphy Elite Mazda installation cooling system

that I mentioned at Sun n'Fun when I get them. In the meantime I have the

following pictures with the top cowling off, so the next three emails each

will contain one picture. Any comments that you have regarding these

pictures would be welcomed.

It has been sitting for a while.
Not sure where the aluminum duct work in the foreground goes to - oil cooler or radiator?

Note the helmet cap in place of a spinner. My guess is that the entire area around the prop

Shaft is need for cooling. There does no appear to be a scoop underneath the prop (or no

picture that I currently have indicates that there is one)

Hard to say what the cooling system is like without seeing the bottom cowl off.
Perhaps they could take the bottom  cowl off and send more pictures. The workmanship looks
good. My guess on the power looking at the intake system will be around 160 HP.
You will have to change the cheap black rubber hose and hose clamps to silicon rubber
hose and constant torque hose clamps.
