Bryan,
I'm hearing you, I guess you mean the Renesis
manifold. Maybe someone can duplicate that in carbon fiber, in a more compact
form. I know - another job for Bill Jepson.

Bryan and George,
The P-port insert used on the PS equipment duplicates an arrangement
that Everett and Steve came up with that, in my opinion is near perfect for
aircraft use. It is a simple tube bent back over the top of the engine. The
mount is unique and I can't think on a better way to do the job. The intake is a
thin-wall steel tube with an inlet bell on the end in a plenum. It is tough,
lighter than most composite tubes would end up being, and easily modified for
length. I work with a lot of carbon and could do better given time...for about
10x the cost. As an engineer I really believe in KIASAP a variation of the KISS
principle. KIASAP is keep it as simple as
possible, under our conditions.
Bill Jepson
