I do not have the "gills" open (left them closed since it has been
established that they were a development item providing little cooling
benefit on shut down(positioned too low) and are now a "leftover" item.)

Bob,


That statement is just not correct.  In flight, there is a noticeable flow
of hot air from the gills - obviously aiding the flow of cooling air across
the cylinders.  Perhaps that is why you have had cooling issues on Jabiru
and Rotax.


Regards,


Mike
