"Hi Russell - do you have any pics of your radiator set up that you would like to post? Does it extend up into the fuselage?"



Bruce, the designers of WWII were very good so I mostly copied the P-51 type scoop. About 2/3 of the radiator extends into the baggage compartment. Photo 1 is very early in the design, you are looking into the baggage compartment from the pilot seat area, it shows where I decided to place the radiator. Photo 7 gives a good idea of where it ended up. This is one of our YouTube video and shows some of the design and wind tunnel tests for the scoop. https://youtu.be/njir235mVuI
