REFLECTOR: Top NACA Inlets

I too had an older fuselage and used the pre-made NACA's from the factory.

 

Here is a link to my pics of what I did:

I retro-fitted NACA's into my standard fuselage.  I used the pre-formed
NACA's for the XL from the factory and cut to fit.

I am about to put in the NACA inlets on the top. (I have an older "SE"
fuselage). I am doing this by cutting out the shape, except the forward
edge, then flexing the cut out down and glassing the sides. Scott sent me a
template for the shape, but did not specify the depth of the inlet at the
aft end.

Could someone give me the depth (measured from the outer fuselage skin to
the "outside" skin or the "floor") of the inlet at the firewall?  

This is for a Standard fuselage with a Lycoming (actually, it is for the
inverted Deltahawk, but will be using the same inlets)..

Thanks

I need to mount an external antenna. According to the instructions a
fiberglass aircraft needs a supplemental ground plane with a minimum
diameter of 36". That is huge. I called the manufacturer and was told that
36" was overkill. They say 18" will do. Have any of you guys installed this
unit? If so where did you install the unit and antenna and how? Thanks for
your input.
