My analysis of air flow required for 200 hp climb
at 120 kts on a
95F day,
and a very effective scoop is 65 sq.in. inlet area
- just for the
coolantrads.  Another 25 sq. in. inlet for the oil
cooler.  This is
more than
typically needed for cruise, but it's a tradeoff.


Al, how do you correlate your figures with Ed's
results.  I believe he has said that the estimates
only 170Hp, but I don't think he could get away with
half the the scoop area.
