Hi, Rusty....I just checked out Tracy's website and his discussion regarding the scat hose.It looks like he had a pretty long hose running from the intake manifold, behind the engine, then back towards the nose of the aircraft, My application will be a short hose (approximately 10 inches) traveling away from the engine into the wing root and NACA duct.  I'm going to give it a try. I can always replace it with a fiberglass tube if necessary.  Thanks for the input.  Paul Conner

    Hi, Tracy....thanks for the heads up....any more info would be
    appreciated....was it a long scat tube, and was it 3 inch
    diameter?  I assume you could not ingest enough air?  Thanks for
    any more info you can provide.  Paul Conner          I recall Tracy saying that there was an almost unbelievable
    increase in air temp when using the scat/sceet/whatever hose.  I'm
    still using such a hose, and eventually will get around to putting
    temp sensors in each end.  It might be just as easy to make a new
    fiberglass (ack, gasp, cough) tube instead.  I think breaking in
    the engine will gain more power than that for me now though.           Cheers,
    Rusty
