An investigation of the aerodynamics and cooling of horizontally

Hi Duncan,

I found the report you cite here:

_http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19810013485_1981013485.p

I think this is the same report, but it's date of issue shows 1981. I've  not 
had a chance to read it through yet, but skimming over it it looks to  
contain everything anybody could ever want to know about recip engine cooing and

duct shape. Thanks for the heads up on that one! Our tax dollars might  have 
actually been used to produce something useful. Wouldn't that be a  breath of 
fresh air? 

Gilles, in regard to the details of my Jab installation, I've not had a  
chance to post anything yet. I have sent rather lengthy descriptions of what  
I've

done to those who have asked, though. If there is enough interest (and if I  
can find the time) I could put together a report with pictures detailing my  
installation. I'm still fiddling with several things at the moment, so it's  
still a work in progress. So far, though, it's working well.

I started playing with shapes yesterday to fair in the triangle  brace I 
mentioned on the nosegear leg. I looks like I can bend up something  out of 
sheet

metal that would do what needs to be done in that area.
