I read that article as well. I had the same skepticism about the NACA intake for cooling. My understanding is that with an NACA inlet, you don't get the ram pressure you need to force air through a high fin-count radiator. Am I wrong about this?

At the risk of invoking PL's name, anyone else read this months Sport Aviation mag from EAA, and notice an article on cooling that seems to indicate that NACA's are acceptable and adequate for aircraft cooling needs? I have no idea regarding the authors credentials, and I no longer monitor PL's "newsletter".. I was curious more than anything else... Pauls reaction, others reactions, etc.

Translation.. yes.. I'm stirring the pot/Trolling... I figure if we are using NACA's on the Velocity, that makes us somewhat of a NACA supporter..
