Paul Lamar has a bunch on the rotaryeng.net site I believe. I might have a few on my computer at home. If so, I'll send them out.

Brian,
Do you have pictures with the cowlings off? I would like to see your setup!
Chris
We ran the plane on the ground, taxied about 1/2 mile, for a total of about 30-40 minutes, the outside temperature was 60, and the highest the oil or water got was 160. Hopefully it will work well in flight. I will get around to refining the inlet and sides of the scoop sometime this winter.
Always a smart thing to do, Brian - if conditions aren't perfect - especially for that first flight. You don't need any weather distractions. Looking forward to seeing how your P-51 cooling set up works. I was thinking as you were taxing that perhaps having the inlet underneath the airframe in vicinity of the ground might cause more air to flow into it than say my nose mounted ducts during ground operations.

I planned to do the first flight this weekend, but wather and a bad headset jack postponed it. Here is some video of the almost joyous occasion.
