Johnson, MD" : I agree with Skip 100%. Unless you have an a/c unit, the blower is a godsend on hot days on the ground. It is also useful during pressurized flight, as the air around your head becomes somewhat stagnant due to lack of airflow high in the cabin once the pressure bulkhead door closes off. In non-pressurized flight, I turn it off due to the abundant airflow from the NACA scoop. Doug Johnson 620TT in N654DM >>> The bottom line is that the NACA duct does not become effective until you're at flying speed. Between pre-start, after start, taxi, runup, and after landing taxi up until you shut down, there is plenty of time every flight that you'll be glad you installed a fan.<<<
