Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: coolant / thermostat
Keep in mind I do have a large bottom cowling opening (about twice normal
width) and louvers on both sides of cowling. I know these contribute to
better ground cooling.

===> Thanks for all the extra info Ed. Very interesting to hear all the
specifics on the temps. Is your lower cowl opening strictly for the oil
cooler?
Cheers,
Rusty
Mainly for the oil cooler, but I suspect a bit of heated radiator air makes
it out the bottom as well as the louvers on the side. The opening is bigger
than it needs to be, just what I ended up with by the time I make clearance
for the exhaust pipes and etc.
