This may seem like an odd suggestion but has anyone

considered a setup something simmilar to the air intake

on the P51 mustang, but instead of air intake, use it for housing

of radiators. Clearly the design worked ok given the performance

of the p51, then the cowl could be steamlined as much as possible.



just a thought. Sure would look cool IMHO.

Hi Craig,

  

 I had the "P51" type radiator on my ARV Super2 and it proved to be one of  the biggest weaknesses on the whole aircraft.  It was OK in the air but on  the ground it proved to be a nightmare as there was no airflow unless there was  a strong wind on the nose.  When I was in a queue when leaving Cranfield, I  had to park immediately behind a twin to keep the temperatures down!

  

 regards
