Brief Description:  OIl cooler lines finished and scoop installed

So the new fittings I got for the oil cooler are gonna work great. I measured the lines as best I could but may be a little long. I finished em up at home. While I was at the airport however I made up my mind that I really want to incorporate a P-51 style scoop on the belly vs, having to mount the cooler to the cowling. It's going to be a royal PIA removing the cooler EVERY time I remove the cowling. Not to mention I found that I can EASILY and accurately incorporate a TRUE P-51 design into the belly/firewall of the ez that will be an almost identical install as a real P-51, smaller of course. This will also all for a really sexy lower cowling contour to the prop. It will be a big job so it will have to wait to I'm in Texas, so I'm hoping this setup will work.
Knowing that I'll be re-designing several things on the belly, I just went ahead and laid up 2 plies BIG tape over the carbon scoop and bonded it to the cowling instead of making a new one. This one should do just fine until I take her down south.
