Thanks Richard,
The radiator works just fine never had a problem even on the hottest
days last summer. It may warm up a bit over operating temp in a
prolonged idle. I do not worry about it until temps get over 180.
Temps are 140 +/- while flying. I'll block off part of the radiator
in colder weather. I wanted to keep radiator and exhaust weight in
front of the engine so I could mount the engine as far aft as
possible for maximum prop clearance from torque tubes. I used an
aluminum auto radiator from a Ford Fiesta. It fits nicely between the
wings and slants front to keep the height to a minimum and provide
room for a standard rotax exhaust system.
The electric servo is very light, I would guess less than 1lb. I will
post an exact weight for you this coming week.

Looks good. Couple questions: How does the radiator work up ahead
of the
engine? I had my radiator in that location for a while, finally
decided
it was acting too much like a spoiler - Biggest problem was if I
got up
to operating temps and couldn't go ahead and take off, it overheated.
Because it was too far from the prop, no airflow. But your radiator
looks bigger than the one I had - comments?
How much does the electric flap actuator weigh?
