Good Morning group.
I've been considering creating a series of custom composite parts that
would take us one step further towards standardizing the rotary
installation.
To do this I would need to know how many of you are mounting your
radiators underneath, as is commonly seen in Paul's renderings here. I
would then offer a standard scoop/duct combo that would be a simple
trace-cut-bond installation.
I am also planning on offering custom cowl work for non-standard
installations, but that will be billed hourly.
So, before I launch on this venture, help me out with a little bit of
info. Send me an e-mail OFF LIST to
ccosman@comcast.net

following:
Aircraft type
Motor Type
Radiator Mounting (where under the cowl you plan on putting it)
Stage of completion (how long till you will need your custom cowl parts)
Style - send a picture, or link, of the cowl inlet you most prefer. (no
high rez stuff)
I've attached some pix of a cowl I'm working on for a local RV-8
builder. He went to the dark side and put in a Subaru (hey I tried to
convert him...) The scoop is roughly 15 square inches and is feeding a
40 square inch radiator. The other cowl is one we made for a Sits
Flut-R Bug w/ A-75.
