Easier to work on though. I always had issues taking off the bottom cowling before the NACA upgrade.

I agree with Scott B. I have done one NACA conversion, its not a one day
or one week job. There is also a plenum to build and fit, exterior
paint, the inevitable cooling issues to solve.

If you don't have a heat problem, don't fix what aint broke.

> Jim, if cooling is not an issue - suggest leaving well enough alone. I have done several roof top NACA scoop conversions that require several days of labor and re-upholstery operations. It's not worth the effort if cooling is not an issue.

>> My 173 RG with io360 lycoming has the armpit scoops. no cooling problems but am considering changing to the NACAs I did not build the aircraft so am challenged by glass work. but can find good help on this. Does anyone have experience on this type of project? Drag reduction? other advantages? I have flown 450 ? hours and have no cooling issues except have to watch oil on long hot climbs. Is a kit available? Any input would be appreciated.
