How are people splitting air from scoops into intake, cabin cooling, and

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.

What airplane are you building Chad?

This is for a Cozy MKIV. This scoop is not set in stone but of all the methods
I've seen I like it the best so far. If I can make the scoop an inch larger on
one dimension and avoid an armpit scoop or similar for intake air, for
instance, that would make me happy. But I don't know if it's enough to simply
partition the scoop to achieve this, or something else is required. If a
partition is the way to go, how close to the mouth of the scoop should it be?

Chad

I built such a scoop for my cozy, but can not guarantee that it will work?
After I'm finished the painting I will start doing the engine work.
