I will bend up a single louver with a temporary mounting and see what
happens during flight test.
Thanks,
Al

-Hi Al !
It might be a good idea to put a scoop facing back over the
front of the opening in the cowl. That would break the airflow up
and create a little suction to help the cooler. Could be just bent-up
sheet, maybe 3/4" high ...
