<p>I have the radiator turned 90 degrees in to the wind. But it is roughly 6" x 30" x 3" deep. I have not flown with it but it seems to do remarkable well on the ground on my RV6A. It may be fascinating to see how it compares to the standard Zenight/Viking mount that places a larger narrower radiator flat at 90 opposed to the inlet air......</p>

<p>Cruzer/Viking 130 people - suggest take a look here from the 3.25minute marker for just 90 seconds for my EMS readout/typical cruise performance. Admittedly a coolish morning at 1500ft above sea level. 80 to max. 85C coolant temp on climb out, loaded at our regulated 600kg MTOW. Over 3.9 hours, this trip, fuel consumption 10.5 Litres/hr.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Good fun…</p>

<p>The thermostat mod was thought to help vent the coolant system while filling. We didn't see an improvement. Another thermostat mod we tried for better venting is to remove the thermostats jiggle pin. This one we believe helps a little. Because Nalcool is more viscous than other coolants, air cannot vent as easily through the jiggle pin, so we removed the pin.</p>

<p>Why? We flew with and without the louvers and the temperatures were the same. Maybe you cannot see clearly, but there's lots of space between the radiator and louvers. </p>
