Rocket list has been kind of thin lately so here goes:
After procrastinating many years about hi CHT's & oil temps on climbout or
just hi period on hot days I finally bit the bullet and installed Billy
Waters louvers on Lower cowl.
Yes I have plenum helped a little bit made CHTS very even but still hot
have oil cooler mounted off back of number 5 should have done off of #6
Okay on 80 deg OAT on CLIMBOUT 2500 RPM 25 IN MP at 120 mph indicated
temps on 5 & 6 never went past 405 wahoo!!! Oil Temp at 185
interestingly the oil temp went down as well on both the oil temps and
CHT'S OVERALL REDUCTION IS BETWEEN 25-30 DEGREES :-) depend on power
setting and altitude.
Can not discern any noticeable speed penalty :-)
If you want to stay cool I highly recommend this for any rocketman

Hi Harry, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I have borrowed a
Dig. camera to take pics, to send to you. The price for the Louver panel
is $ 150.00, this includes S&H by priority mail to your door. ( In the
United States ).If you do not live in USA shipping will be different
price...Does not include ins. Although I haven't sent any Insured
before. Not much damage can be made to panel. If you decide to purchase a
Louver panel for your plane, just send me a check or M.O. for the above
amt. to Billy Waters, 745 J.B. Vandiver Loop, Moody, Tx. 76657. And Give
me yor proper shippng address...I have two inquiries, and fortunately
these are the last two Louver panels that I have left. The Louver panel is
approx. 11"x17 1/2" is made from .032 Al. has 12 louvers in each side.
Won't be making any more until summer. I am going to attempt to send pics,
and other mat'l. to you. If you receive same, let me know..thanks billy waters
