Jim,
Affirmative, but not sure why the mono cooling would be different.

Karl,
Do you have a Mono-wheel?That model seems to have the most
problems with high temps on the ground.If you have a Tri-Gear, It
doesn't have cooling problems at all.In fact it runs too cool. I don't
have the shroud for the top of the engine.The issue is getting heat
---From the water and oil while taxiing for any time on the ground.

Jim,
I am not sure that all that extra work is necessary. I did the
standard factory installation with staggered radiators, and making
sure that all air from the main scoop goes through and not around
them. I have not had any cooling problems with my 912S, even in very
hot weather. I closed the large Naca scoop in front of the oil tank
with tape, and still no cooling problem. I think that the shroud
over the top of the 'S' engine is very effective.

Hi Paul,
I did the smoothing out of the inlet all the way to the radiator.
I also included a cooling flap at the outlet of the duct. Ifyou are
doing the factory thing, make sure that NO air get around the oil
and
water radiators.The air will go to the path of least resistance.Use
the rubber fabric if necessary to blank off areas where the air will
go.
I went the unique way and redid the cooling system.I have a separate
oil cooling radiator (original Europa cooler) that has its own duct
inlet.The main large duct is only for the water radiator.It works
very well for my 912 S.I also have some pix if you want to see them.

Having read several threads rel;ating to cooling recently esp.
relating
to the 914, I'm keen to get this as efficient as possible. I have
seen
several examples offolk smoothing the transition of the lower
cowling
air intake onto the lower surface of the cowling itself. Has anyone
done
any more to reduce the sharp edges of the cooling intake as I seem
to
remember it being suggested air flow could get so turbulent as to
virtually reverse.If anyone has any pics ofwhat they might have
done, I'd be very grateful.
Regards
Paul
