Al,

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.
