Hi Paul, the scat tube was 2.75" dia & about 4 ft long.
Gave me a major power loss (compared to ram air) partly due to pressure drop (1
- 2" Hg) and partly due to temperature rise, about 25 - 30 F. I was very
surprised at both. If you have shorter run it may work better. The
larger diameter would reduce pressure drop but temp rise would be worse (as a
quick guess).

Hi, Tracy....thanks for the heads up....any more info
would be appreciated....was it a long scat tube, and was it 3 inch
diameter? I assume you could not ingest enough air? Thanks for any
more info you can provide. Paul Conner

You have exactly described the first intake scheme I tried on the
Renesis (NACA, Scat tube, etc). Hope it works better for you than it
did for me.
