 Al,

I believe Rino said he had a fan on the oil cooler, which I feel would be restrictive in aviation use, from what I've heard. Might be good for taxiing etc.

George;

 

I added a fan behind the coolant radiator; and found it had no detrimental effect in flight, and made a big improvement in cooling on the ground.  This is on a pusher (Velocity) with a ram scoop.  I expect it could make a difference depending on what type of fan and the effectiveness of the intake scoop.
