The unit with the P51 style scoop has been installed on our Glasair 3 here =
in Yuma, AZ. for over 2 years and has never failed=A0to deliver. We fly thi=
s aircraft over 130 hours a year and because of the AC we can fly any day i=
n the summer. This was the prototype for all Glasair's since the manufactur=
er=A0had never sold=A0one anywhere else. Before the install, we did our fli=
ght test and recorded our power, altitude, temperature, and speed settings =
etc. After the install we ran the same test and found the no noticeable dif=
ference in speed.=A0We thought=A0there had to be some loss of speed but we =
really couldn't find any. A Lancair Legacy installed the same system and al=
so found no measurable loss in airspeed. Because these aircraft are similar=
 in speed, roughly 220 knots, we wondered if the the loss isn't measurable =
until you get to greater airspeed's.=20
=A0
We bought a 4P with the same system already installed because of the except=
ional performance of this system and it cruises just as fast as the one wit=
hout the system. I have heard owners of 4P's say they have noticed 2 to 6 k=
nots of loss in airspeed but have never heard of anyone losing 10 to 20 kno=
ts or more.=20
=A0
Our suggestion is to do your own flight test with your airplane since no tw=
o 4P's are the same and all are prototypes. Also, you didn't mention your p=
ower, altitude, temp,=A0airspeed's, and the way you fly your particular air=
craft so it is hard to determine what kind of cruise speed you are indicati=
ng.=20
=A0
One last thought. If you really think you are at a big loss in airspeed my =
suggestion is to take the scoop off and see what the difference really is. =
This way you will have an apples to apples comparison before you invest the=
 time and money into a new system. Also, be aware of cutting holes into the=
 bottom of the fuselage since this may decrease the structural strength of =
the airframe.
