REFLECTOR: Nose cowl flap

[Scott Derrick]

That sounds like a great idea!

Hmm... My next task was to install a temporary oil cooler exit scoop and
evaluate how that effected my oil temps. Since I don't have a scoop now
installing a hinged scoop would be as easy if not easier than a fixed
one. hmmm....

Gonna have to think about this!
