Paul,

I don't think that the RV guys have the same
appreciation for fiberglass as the canard gang.  I
hated working with fiberglass at first, but after
building the Cozy, it really isn't too bad (now that
its done especially).  I don't think that there is
much that I couldn't build out of fiberglass.

Also, I saw the photo of you scoop yesterday morning,
before I left for south Carolina.  I have a question
about the location.  When I added scoops to my Cozy, I
added armpit scoops to the underside of the lower
cowling, which according to the pressure charts I had,
was a high pressure area.  I had considered putting
them where yours is, or even one centered at the top
of the cowling, but it looked to me like that was a
low pressure area.

Maybe you SQ is a little different, but I'd expect
that it was very similar to the Cozy.  Since I am
going to redo my 1.4 version cowling someday, I'm
interested to see the results that you get with you
scoop arrangement
