An investigation of the aerodynamics and cooling of horizontally
opposed engine installation"
SJ Miley. SAE 1977.
Hi Duncan,
I found the report you cite here:

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.
