<DIV>I was thinking about this the other day. Why don't we change the fuse
design to stick the motor out in the breeze? Kind of like a WWI rotary or a
foamy. Seems like we're trying hard to keep the planes identical in
design between electrics and fuel for no apparent reasons</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also now that huge props and braking are available, will fuselages slim
down some?</DIV>

<d.pappas@kodeos.com> <BR><BR>> Hi Earl, <BR>> This sounds a
whole lot loke the similar duct I have placed around my AXI <BR>>
outrunner. <BR>> It is astounding how much a difference a real cooling
duct makes. <BR>> Fans inside the motor are a band-aid. The top-down
solution is good airflow <BR>> management. <BR>> <BR>> The picture
is of the ductwork in the Funtana I am doing for FM. <BR>> The subject is
modifying the plane for high-performance electric. (high heat and <BR>>
RF generation) <BR>> The airbox in the front of the cowl encloses the
front of the motor, <BR>> and feeds the internals and the 1/8" gap in the
duct with high pressure air. <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> later, <BR>> Dean
