Hi Tom,

I still need to work out something for the intake.  Since I'm in New
Mexico, I need to provide a filtered air source for those occasions when
there's more sand in the air than oxygen.  We get some pretty heavy rain
showers also.  I guess I see the main advantage of the ram air is
getting a little more speed at altitude.
