REFLECTOR: Oil cooler construction

[Steve Goldman]

I'm approaching the point where I have enough done on the fuselage 
that I'll be able to join the halves. At this point I haven't built 
the assembly that goes in the nose for the oil cooler. The reason is 
that I would like to use the DeltaHawk engine which doesn't require 
the cooler in the nose.

What I would like to know how feasible it is to delay this until after 
the halves are joined. [I'm not really interested in discussions of 
the feasibility of the DeltaHawk. I've been following them for a long 
time I'm aware of the situation.] It seems that it is doable from the 
cutouts that go in the nose but someone who has actually completed a 
plane ought be able to tell if delaying this work until later will 
make for a lot more work later.
