Hi Randy,
        I am building a rotary powered version of the Long EZ known as the Limo EZ,  I am using the submerged portion of a NACA duct with a modified P51 scoop which makes it look more like a F16 intake.  It should slow the air down and recover pressure. By using the submerged area the cowl can favorably fair into the prop.

This is precisely why I want to decide early on if I should go to the trouble to build the NACA inlet verses the P-51 style scoop.  I m leaning heavily toward the scoop as this is easier to construct and I gain some (although miniscule) room in the fuselage for something else.

Hi Randy, I filled the naca scoop and built entirely new P-51 scoop attached to the cowl. For now only looks good. Yet to be seen if it works?
