Re: Europa-List: Fwd: Re: Cooling issues XS 914 on the ground

Hi Jim,

Do you see any performance difference between the Warp Drive & Whirlwind?

I believe that the Whirlwind blades are not from the same manufacturer as the 
Whirlwind
prop that Kim Prout uses - is that correct?

Cheers,

Roger

We attribute this to more air entering the engine compartment.

very important to seal all gaps in the cooling duct so that all air must pass
through a radiator.  We even seal between the bottom of the coolant radiator
and the top of the oil radiator with tape.
