Al, two more questions jump to mind when I looked at this picture and the sketch again.

1-The two scoop's seem to almost overlap in the inside corner, is it possible there is

some turbulant flow coming off the lower scoop to cause problems w/ the

wing scoop.

2- B was measured w/ Foam on the pipe while C was measured w/out.. is it

possible that the foam is your problem here, is it causing it to not read the

'proper' pressure?
