    cooling system help for auto engine conversion

    Dos Canis, Thanks for the tips. I am already on the flyrotary list, but I was seeking some different veiws on the subject. A lot of the aviation community tends to cling to an idea that works whether it is the best solution to a problem or not, a good example being magnetos that have to be...
