Thanks! With the GY 26” blimpies I usually see 130-135 mph in cruise. Didn’t loose too much with them.
I’ll try to find or just go take you some window pics in the next day or so. I used to have a ton on photo bucket...

Correct, the firewall serves as the back wall of the box, making it a plenum for the oil cooler. Just a place for the air to collect and re-stagnate before traveling through the cooler.
In two weeks I’ll have a short cross country and should be able to tell pretty quickly how effective the modification is. Pattern work at 70 deg F isn’t too taxing on my cooling system, haha.

Re: Engine Cooling Fixes
How did you attach your landing gear to the fuselage?

Re: Engine Cooling Fixes
Roger built some brackets that bolt to the fuse tubing. I have pics of that in the aircraft logbooks. I can snap some of those if you’re interested.
Sub, sorry I haven’t gotten any pictures up of the windows yet! Should have some fresh ones this weekend!

Re: Engine Cooling Fixes
That would be great. I'm working on an experimental and considering grove gear.
