Impressive stuff Kevin, watching this thread with interest. Is this project going to be a home for Frank's Saito or do you have other plans for powering the Provost?

Obviously the Saito is the intended and primary choice but i have major concerns on how to extract sufficient cooling air while retaining a reasonable scale appearance of the cowl. Brian Winch has published many articles about cooling these engines.
