While it doesn't make sense to try to have sufficient cooling for climb, I
think that I can still make some air flow improvements and get a little
better cooling.

Steve, what makes you think/believe that!?
I always assumed that one would design/plan for the worst case scenario:
Slow/steep/pro-longed max power climb....
You always can close the flaps/louvers (streamline/reduce drag) when you
change into a less severe regime.
But what good is a 250hp engine if you can't use it for more than 2 min....
I would at least want a 5 min limit for T/O-power. As Rotaries go, they will
hold up fine with max power for cruise/racing/etc. fine too - but if you
can't cool it.....
What if you are in line on really hot day? You might not even get 2 min of
max power.
I would rather err on the wild side of cooling - you always can cut down and
close off, once you know your ride...
