I recentley purchased a 1969 Citabria 7KCAB and plan on doing some winter flying here in Fairbanks, AK. I bought the plane in March so I was flying in 10 degree weather before with the oil cooler 100% blocked off and the oil temp would only get to about 120. I've been serching for some type of winter baffle kit but can not find any info on one. I read the best way to go is to restrict the air flow from the bootom of the cowling but don't know how I could do that. I could put foil tape on the front but herd that might casue hot/cold spots on the cyclinders. Just curous what you guys do for winter flying? Any pictures of a system would be great. Thanks
