Al,
        Don't you have one rad in the cowl and the oil cooler and other rad in the wings? It would seem that with air flow through the cowl the rad in the cowl would be performing most of the cooling on the ground.  Great work!

That’s correct, Joe.  And that’s the problem; I get none of this airflow through the oil cooler.  I was hoping for more natural convection through the oil cooler, but there is very little.  It may be a little better with the cooler in the wing enclosure – natural convection needs a “chimney”.  Maybe I’ll need to somehow duct some of the cooler exit into the cowling.
