[Tigers] Cooling the Tiger

[e.coiner e.coiner]

I installed the same fan on my Tiger,  I had to trim a little corner off the leading edge to clear the radiator. Don't remember any issues with the hose.

The air flow on that thing is insane.  I have a LAT fiberglass hood.  Reving the engine will cause the corners of the hood to flex up from the air pressure.

The sound is just like a Cessna on full power take off roll.

Cooling problems under control.   After a while I found the Ford Maverick fan and installed that.  The Derale was too noisy compared to the Maverick. Cooling still under control.
