Paul, you might think of a movable plug in your cowl air outlet to
    control the temps as in this WW II German design. Should in theory
    reduce the drag at cruise when you don't need max cooling.

    When we get to the point of worrying about over cooling we are
    making real progress :)

Paul,
 Interesting drawing. The inlet shape is interesting as it looks exactly
like what Ed Anderson has been trying to do with his short inlets.

Gee that's funny. Also looks like what Kucheman & Weber advocates and what I have been talking about for the last 5 years. So Ed finally got the message? :) Is he claiming he invented this? :)

Apparently Hoerner knew Kucheman & Weber all being German scientist during WW II working for the Nazi.

Here is a page from K&M. Note duct A
