Ed,
The oil cooler is getting about 1/3 of the scoop. Its size is about
4.5"x4.5", or 20.25 sq in. I wish that the scoop was larger, but John Slade
seems to be getting good cooling on his, so I am hoping that mine will as
well.
I still have to connect the hoses, and a couple of the fittings should be
here today, or tomorrow. I hope to do ground testing this week, and
hopefully a test flight by the weekend.
Thanks for the compliment.
Steve

Looking good, Steve.
The oil cooler inlet duct looks a bit small - but hard to tell from the
angle. I presume its on the order of 20 -24 sq inch? I see you have it
situated where the tanks meet in the center which would probably be an area
of higher pressure given the solid tanks blocking flow to the rear in that
area. The oil tank has a better plenum than I have on my oil cooler so will
be very interested in seeing how it goes. Very neat work

My new cooling system is coming along. Attached are a couple of photos.
The first is a picture of the cooling assembly while sitting on the bench,
which houses the 2 evaporator cores and the oil cooler. The 2nd photo is
with it mounted in the plane.
