Subject: Cowling for RV 7A

I am considering the James Aircraft rotary engine cowling they are now 
manufacturing for the RV 6 and 7.   The cowling  has one air intake 
below the spinner.  I am planning on mounting an RX 7 ('89) oil cooler 
and evap. core water radiators under the engine with the air inlet 
feeding air through the radiators.  The oil cooler and radiators would 
be side-by-side at about a 30 degree angle to the inlet with the high 
end toward the front of the aircraft.    James  has stated the inlet 
area is 51.25 in-sq. and the outlet is 63 in-sq.  I believe the inlet 
can be enlarged by about 50% if necessary.   Anyone want to comment on 
this arrangement before I spend the $900 for the cowling?

Thanks,
Dennis H.
