REFLECTOR: Oil temps

[Tom]

In reading this whole thread it appears that no one is asking the 
question as to why a single (even smaller) oil cooler works perfectly 
fine on OTHER aircraft designs having an IO-360.  I'd bet that a single 
(rear) cooler on a velocity would work much better than a nose mounted 
one since the oil would not have to be pushed through several yards of 
tubing. Yes, a tractor design does add some additional slipstream for a 
cooler but becomes less of a factor as speed increases. Cruise to cruise 
comparison would find nose mounted coolers on pushers lacking (unless 
they had huge tubing).
