Greetings team,
FWIW, my Ximango has shrouds on the cylinder barrels. Air is fed to them by
a single, 3" opening at the front of the cowl that is loosely fit into 4" SCAT
tubing connected to the shrouds. For those who've never seen one of these
Ximango's up close, the cowls are fitted much more tightly than any other 9XX
I've ever seen. The installed shrouds, whether done by Aeromot or Rotax, (I'm
not sure which) are tan in color and they smell like plain old polyester
resin when they get warm.
I flew the Ximango a bunch last summer, i.e., over 130 hours, when our
ambient temps were touching 105F every day and the engine always ran cool.
Hope it helps!
Regards,
