Tommy, I basically bring my ducts out to the inlet opening and use a bit of 1/8" thick foam weather-strip insulation to prevent contact between duct and inlet part of cowling. There is very little vibration to content with unlike a Lycoming which would play havoc with such a set up.

Subject: [FlyRotary] Doin' the duct

Hi Guys.

I need understanding on how to mate the radiator ducts with the cowl opening. I can see how to mount the rads to motor mount and redrive back plate. Follow on in the footsteps of master glass scuptors like Tracy. Ed and RD with foam, electrical tape and poprivets.

But I can’t ‘see’ the junction of duct and cowl.. Thanks for any ideas. The duct tape is a little cheezie..:-)

Regards,
