      If interested look at www.techwelding.com you can see a set up made for the Renesis engine.

Subject: [FlyRotary] finding a radiator

I'm looking for a radiator or evap core with overall dimensions 8.5in by 19.5 in at least 3.75 in thick.  I want in the area of 600 cubic inches of cooling for my Renesis.  Where is the best place to get this? 
 
So far, the best I've found would be two evap cores 8.5 by 9.5 that I could mount side by side, but I would rather one unit, that way I get more cooling space and less tank space.
 
Thanks,
 
Chris
