Sorry; attached the wrong file for the oil
cooler on the earlier post.

Al,
Do you have any
photos of your oil cooler install showing the airflow path?

My
oil cooler is in the wing root. The intake is on the bottom just behind
the spar, and the exit is out the top further back. It matches a coolant
rad in the other wing.
The
first pic show the oil cooler. The second is the inlet
“scoop” - not really a scoop, just an airfoil lip that extends
down into the air flow about 1/2”. The third pic shows the rough
ducting (early version of exit fairing) for the coolant rad; the oil cooler is
similar, and the fourth pic shows the exit fairing. The flow through this
cooler (and the wing root rad) is enhanced by the normal pressure difference
between the bottom and top of the wing. At this position of the wing the
difference should be higher at higher angle of attack.
