The engine is lost in the cowl :-)
I think I'll put a huge muffler in there :-)
I have some more ideas on the cooling baffles. Do away with at least
one :-)

That looks great with all that room. I think it would be ideal for
fitting to my Barber Snark although I would only need about 105 HP as
that would easily allow me to exceed VNE of 140Kn. You mention making
the body out of block of steel but what grade of steel would be best and
what would you estimate machining cost at? If more that one off to be
done would it not be best to rough cast the shape and then finish of
with the NC machine centre allowing some flats for the heat sinks. If
the price to build is low enough you would be able to compete in the
drone market as well as small aircraft. If enough rotary enthusiasts go
together they could form a viable engine company.

You don't have to open the throttle all the way.
Here that cooling idea I had. Works well for the top heat exchanger.
We need an experienced corporate CEO.
