subzJC,

I had to put the project aside for a bit due to life getting in the way (I hate that), but I have been pondering the issue of airflow for cooling for a few days now. There is a cavity inside of the firewall that is open to allow some additional air in, but I am not sure what direction to take to let it escape. The easiest solution would be to open some of the covering on the bottom of the plane towards the middle or rear but I did not want to damage the look; another thought was to cut some holes in the side and rear windshields. Any suggestions in this area are greatly appreciated.

Initially, I thought about adding some down/right thrust but was told by one of the members that the firewall already had some built in and that I should fly it first to see if any additional was needed. I will maiden her in the present configuration and will do some testing to see if any is required and correct if needed.
