Mark,
How do you control your cowl flap? Do you
have any pics of the install?

belly scoops
Bill,
Yes, it was Greg Ward that I was thinking of with the P-51 style belly
scoop. I was very interested in hearing how well it worked as he's
cooling quite a bit more HP than me.
Adding a cowl flap to my ES made a big difference flying here in the Texas in the summertime.
My cowl flap actually adds additional exit area over the stock Lancair
"tunnels". Once up at altitude, I can close the cowl flap and
pick up a little speed.

My scoop is in the front like Ed’s. It may be a little overkill in
the winter but it is just adequate in the summer here in Florida. I need to convert an exit
into a moveable cowl flap.
Greg Ward is installing a belly scoop on his Legacy to cool a
souped up 20B. We haven’t heard from him in a while. Maybe he will
give us an update.

Didn't Bill
(lname?) go with a P-51 style scoop on his Lancair Legacy? How's that
working out Bill?

Ross Farnham has been posting some interesting information on
some guys that are flying very efficient belly scoops for cooling their
subie rads. Here are some links to check out if interested.
Ross is working on a new scoop for his Subie Turbo 6A that he has been
flying for number of years...400+ hrs.
Scroll down to the middle of this next link on the VAF website and
look at how thin the Dragonfly's belly scoop is...
