Anti Splat Engine Temperature Control ?

[Tandem46]

...If you guys with heat issues on climb-out can wait about a month, we will be in production of another product that will solve this issue. It won't be ugly, it will install very easily, won't require re-painting, won't bankrupt your budget and best of all, will not slow your airplane down. We have seen louvers really have a dramatic detrimental effect on speed as the exit air velocity is reduced, causing considerable drag. Our new product (currently in end stage testing) will not do this so you get the best of both worlds. We are seeing on long, hard climbs, cyl. temp reductions of 40 to 60 degrees and oil temps reduced 25 to 35 degrees. We have been working on and improving this product for almost a year and are now tooling it for production. If you can wait just a little longer, you won't be disappointed. Thanks, Allan...

Allan, what happened with this??? It's been a year since you posted the above and we're headed back into another hot summer. Very interested in this.

From Allan:

Hello again Tobin
...We are still waiting for the electronics from our supplier. I am going to just go ahead and produce some using the electronics as in our prototype. These are working perfectly and have not shown any ill effects to date. I will contact you when we have them. shouldn't be too long now. Regards, Allan

I'm interested! This could be useful for hot summer days in Phoenix.

Hmmm, electronically controlled automatic cowl flaps of some kind? That actually sounds like a pretty neat idea.
