I would like to see someone who really knows how to design and 
manufacture composite  parts take on the project. Tracy certainly knows 
how to design the part and there must be someone who can fabricate a 
smooth good looking carbon fiber intake system. A bolt on unit for the 
Renisis that I suspect Tracy is installing on his RV-4 rocket.

Now I am answering my own posts..

A complete intake system for the Renisis would be a blessing to those 
of us dreaming of 220 hp. smooth engines.
