I have an RV and an
ES. When RV8 guys put the 200hp Lycoming in their planes, they had
cooling problems. One interesting way they dealt with it was to install a
louver vent on the bottom of the cowl similar to your heating vent at
home. This vent had a sliding plate on the inside to open and close
it. It produced a nice low pressure pull when open and very little
drag. It was also easy to install. Just a thought.
