Graham,
I am now flying my mono-wheel with the cooling mod's. I mounted the oil
cooler
in front just below the spinner. I used the old classic oil cooler and
bolted it to the engine. Then made an opening and made smooth transitions from
the outside. However, I could not provide much of an expansion duct to slow
the air down but I can say that my oil cooler is working very good. Here in
Florida it gets a bit warm but my oil temps are running a bit cool. In fact I
may have to close up the opening a bit to raise the temps. I'm running 190F
to 195F in that region. On the ground, in taxing mode I have seen it 205 to
210F.
So that mod definitely works.
