Bill,
Here is the rest of the picture. The cowl is actually three pieces. The bottom fairing slides into place to feed the radiator ducts. The air makes a 360.  Not my first plan but it seems to be working.  The ducts are in high pressure at any attitude and it would appear they are getting good air from the prop.  With the cowl off  and an OAT of 65 I had a hard time warming up the oil.  Stuffing carpet in ducts solved that problem. Bobby
 

 


Looking good Bobby,
Interesting inlet solution. Any ducting or a straight inlet to a plenum?  Good numbers.
Bill Jepson
