REFLECTOR: Cowl flaps better oil temps

[Scott Derrick]

Andy,

I have always wondered why the big bore V's didn't have some kind of 
cowl flap. 

Because we are using NACA's I would think it may be possible to reduce 
the cooling air in a much simpler fashion than butterfly's inside the 
NACA's. 

Since very small VG's if placed right can induce laminar flow, mightn't 
a particular placement disrupt the flow into the NACA and thus reduce 
the airflow?
