Very true.  Will the "right" cooling system please stand up!

 

My cooling system is too small for the power I wanted to be able to use.  I could still outrun any 160 hp RV-6 and outperform those with 180 hp and fixed pitch props. 

 

But I was out-climbed by the guys with 180hp and c/s props and outrun by the 200 h.p. crowd. 

 

This should have been good enough.  Flying n.a. there were no cooling issues at all.

 

But I am starting to think that cooling is like money.  No matter how much you have, its never quite enough.

 

My current plan it to go from a 2" rad to a 3" rad of the same or larger surface area.  I will also add some fresh intake ducting, a cowl flap, and spray system.

 

That should allow me to easily beat the 200h.p. guys....  but then there is always the tri-aviathon...

 

Any suggestions?  :-)
