Kurt,
I received a large NACA belly scoop with my kit - it is an XLRG, and the
NACA is kind of external, IE the bottom of the plenum is the external
surface of the belly of the aircraft, and then it needs to be blendes in- I
haven't put it on yet, but I am pretty sure that I will, I just cant move
all of that air from the top behind the engine to the radiator very easily,
plus I will need a lot of cool air for my intercooler anyway. I think I
have seen either yours of someone else's that pit a submerged NACA on the
belly, but it needs an inch or 2 that would go right through the gear
bulkhead and sump tank of the RG, this external one should not have this
problem....... I'll post some pictures when I get to that....
Alex

Alex,
Are you building an RG or a FG ? The reason I ask is that I installed a
big NACA underneath my V for my lower radiator. It sure beats the way a
belly scoop looks ( I made a mock up). It should really work fantastic on
the underside too.
Down side: it won't fit in a RG.
