I'm New Here
This is my first post to the VAF Forums. I'm looking for help and info on installing an AntiSplat Aero Oil Cooler Shutter; and, I would appreciate any guidance that you may be able to give me..
I have an RV-7 with a Mattituck IO-360 that has the Oil cooler at the rear baffle wall by the #4 cylinder. I also purchased a push-pull cable so that I can control the adjustable openings on the Oil cooler shutter. I live in NW NJ and I fly at least once a week since it is good for the engine (and, even better for me !!). But, Winter flying makes it hard to get my Oil Temp above 160F. I have been using foil tape to cover the Oil cooler; but that requires taking off the cowling before each flight to adjust the foil tape depending on the anticipated OAT.
Hope that you can help,
Thank you, OldNavy
