Kelly,

It is in the rebuild process at the moment.  My first choice of cooling design had a bad outcome.  I am moving the radiator to the right side (aka Tracy’s RV8 radiator) and feeding it from the right nostril as well as picking up a little air from both the left nostril and the “smiley” under the prop.  The  RX7 oil cooler is at the rear and fed from a 2.5 X 12 inch duct from the “smiley” that runs under the engine.  I expect to have to add a cowl flap to let the air out.  If this ever gets completed I will let you know of the results.  The “smiley” is 3.5 X 17 inches.  Not really a “smiley”, looks like Greg Ward’s belly scoop, but on the chin.  Current plan has the air coming in, making a bend through the radiator, oil cooler, and out.  Previous had the air making a 360 inside the cowl…didn’t seem to like that..:>)

I am concerned that my first choice of shirt (and health plan…president???) will have a similar bad outcome.
