REFLECTOR: Molding a P-51 Scoop

[Jim Sower]

Isn't 66 sqin nearly the size of the engine cooling inlet?  Sounds like 
a lot.  I would have thought maybe 30% of that would do.  Anyway, 
Urethane foam is cheap and carves easiest, Styrofoam will melt away with 
gas.  I use duct tape or plastic/shrink wrap as a release agent.
I'd revisit my sizing formula ... Jim S.
