Hi, Jim....yes, matter of fact the guy in the hangar across from me is building a Velocity and offered his under wing intakes for me to use. I would prefer the low drag NACA over the male scoops. However, nothing is in concrete. Will know more after test flying it with the NACA duct. It is a fairly large duct, with a 3 inch outlet, so I think I will get enough air to the throttlebody. Will know soon. Thanks for the info, however. Paul Conner

Paul,
Have you looked at the Velocity under-wing intakes? Sounds like just what you want ... Jim S.

Hi, Rusty....I just checked out Tracy's website and his discussion regarding the scat hose.It looks like he had a pretty long hose running from the intake manifold, behind the engine, then back towards the nose of the aircraft, My application will be a short hose (approximately 10 inches) traveling away from the engine into the wing root and NACA duct. I'm going to give it a try. I can always replace it with a fiberglass tube if necessary. Thanks for the input. Paul Conner

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 I recall Tracy saying that there was an almost unbelievable
increase in air temp when using the scat/sceet/whatever hose. I'm
still using such a hose, and eventually will get around to putting
temp sensors in each end. It might be just as easy to make a new
fiberglass (ack, gasp, cough) tube instead. I think breaking in
the engine will gain more power than that for me now though. Cheers,
Rusty
