Hi! Terry
I'm not a Rotax buff but Take a look at the http://www.crix.org.uk support
site and see the intake "eyebrows" I did for the ram air ducts on the Jabiru
6.But of course you need a propeller with very short shanks.
I can sit all day on idle awaiting departure and did for about 3/4 hour last
year at Chambly waiting for a display to complete after a start battery
problem. I don't have any water to assist my cooling.
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG

Subject: Re: Mono wheel vs. Tri-Gear debate
One item I haven't seen mentioned yet is the cooling
difference between mono and tri-gear configurations.
On a hot day our mono-wheel XS with 912S cannot be run
on the ground more than 15 minutes or so without the risk
of boil over. I have heard that the tri-gear setup cools better.
We are looking for a cowl mod or an electric fan to keep temps
under control this summer, having already reshaped the duct
inlet, relocated the oil cooler below the radiator, cut 5"
off the back of the duct, and added a spoiler to the bottom
of the cowl.
