Have you looked at Will James new cowling. It was developed for the probably defunct Powersport project. It has one large intake under the spinner, a lot like a King Air cowling.

He says after June 15 he will begin to build them for RV-6,7,9.

How are people splitting air from scoops into intake, cabin cooling, and radiator feeds? Are you just partitioning the scoop into separate output feeds? If so, how large should I make the feed to the intake air for the engine, and should it have a bypass to allow unused air to escape, or should I just feed it to the engine compartment/cowl and let the intake pull out what it will?

I'm planning a single P51-style scoop that drops below the boundary layer, and I'd like to avoid having separate/extra armpit or similar scoops for other air supplies.

Thanks,
Chad
