My thoughts on the 7in as essentially as a fall back screen in case i lose the 10" but good to know that it really does not compare. As far as the openings I am currently planing on the HP version and it would be nice to have the 147 HP option at the higher RPM but i don't intend on flying it at those power levels. I feel the 130 is more than enough for what my mission is although since i do want to go with the HP version i want the option available mostly for short duration high density altitude flying i.e. flying out of the Rockies etc. Not something i plan to be doing all the time or even frequently for precisely the reasons you stated. My mission for the airplane is to fly throughout the western half of the united states with an occasional cross country trip thrown in here or there weather permitting. I guess i wasn't to clear in my explanation i intend to use the factory designed layout for the AM15 with the bottom mount radiator, but since i do want to go the HP version at least for now. The intention is to use the second air entrance for the required oil cooler. I plan to still do the cutout for the low mount radiator. Of course your progress and performance will probably have a big impact on which engine i end up choosing.
Also that 70 inch looks dangerously close to that shop floor and its not even in a flying attitude yet.
