Hi Peter, Marcel and all,

Was just making up my mind to respond when Peter's message arrived.
Marcel, please feel free to contact me direct, and why not come over to 
LFHH where our airplane is based ?
We would be pleased to discuss your problem. There are solutions.
Considering the design of your cowling and the (air inlets) holes in it, 
it is easy to get a notable improvement. Getting the most efficient 
cooling while reducing cooling drag would unfortunately involve more 
drastic mods in the cowling.

The MCR 4S is a four seater with the same engine(s) as the Europa, the 
same all round performance, climb, cruise speed, etc. and outstanding 
take off and landing capacities, due to very efficient flaps, and lower 
empty weight.
And as Peter says, we have no cooling issues be it on the ground or in 
flight.
