This is getting more and more popular.
Seen today at SZP for the first Sunday of the month
air fare.

Just mount the rad under the fuse and tilt
it down at the front. I think this is a Soob
powered Rand KR 2.5. With a bit more work
it could be made to look better.

That is a rock catcher supreme.  Never work off dirt.   Jerry


No more so then the P51. A screen on the rad core would not hurt.
His angle was a bit excessive anyway. I think it would have cooled
as well with less angle.

It would certainly need a screen.  My experience is that small planes
such as most of us are building have minimal prop ground clearance
and really pick up the dirt and small stones.  A P-51 prop I would
guess  has several feet of ground clearance.  A few inches can make a
big difference.  Jerry
