| Bill,
Yes, it was Greg Ward that I was thinking of with the P-51 style belly scoop. I was very interested in hearing how well it worked as he's cooling quite a bit more HP than me.
Adding a cowl flap to my ES made a big difference flying here in the Texas in the summertime. My cowl flap actually adds additional exit area over the stock Lancair "tunnels". Once up at altitude, I can close the cowl flap and pick up a little speed.

My scoop is in the front like Ed’s. It
may be a little overkill in the winter but it is just adequate in the summer
here in Florida.
I need to convert an exit into a moveable cowl flap.
Greg Ward is installing a belly scoop on
his Legacy to cool a souped up 20B. We haven’t heard from him in a
while. Maybe he will give us an update.

Didn't Bill (lname?) go with a P-51 style scoop on his Lancair Legacy?
How's that working out Bill?

Ross Farnham has been posting some
interesting information on some guys that are flying very efficient belly
scoops for cooling their subie rads. Here are some links to check out if
interested. Ross is working on a new scoop for his Subie Turbo 6A
that he has been flying for number of years...400+ hrs.
Scroll down to the middle of this next
link on the VAF website and look at how thin the Dragonfly's belly scoop is...
