So Ed - what sort of length did you end up with and how much did it vary for summer and winter. George ( down under) You are correct, Scott. The in-flight adjustable intake simply did not work out as hoped for reasons I explained in a previous e mail. However, the adjustable DIE intake works just fine and gives me the power I want on take off. I tried for a couple of months to get a 4 tube sliding mechanism to work, but the precision required, weight of the intake, etc. just didn't work out. So tried the compromise which worked mechanically, but compromised the very effect I was hoping to capitalize on. But, that is what experimenting is all about. If you don't ever fail then you are not experimenting {:>). I have built five different intakes, but found that my second design was the best and a refined version of that is what I have been flying with for the past three years. Sorry, the in-flight adjustable is just to big and heavy to throw into the baggage compartment, but if you are ever down in my neck of the woods, be happy to show it to you.

Hmmmmmmmm.... I thought it didnt work very well, something with the nickel coating and motor drive... So you got everything worked out? Understood about the plugs up, I was interested in how the sliding tubes are sealed and the drive mechanism... ____________________________________________________________________________________ Fussy?
