Hi Paul;
   Thanks for the effort on the throttle. Someone
recently gave me an old magazine with a nice article
about someone, can't remember who, who put a v6 in a
canard and had a great radiator setup (thin p51 type)
under the engine I believe he had a type of cowl flap
so he could partially close it off in cruise. I'll
search for the magazine and get back to you.
                               John
