REFLECTOR: NACA scoop

[Andy Millin]

I made my own NACA.  I still have the factory provided inlet molded part.
If you want it, it's yours.

I recommend smaller than the factory NACA and a large 3" nozzle inside.
The NACA could also be placed on the belly of the nose on a FG.

I've got about 12-15 hours now on my newly acquired STD FG and one problem
I'm noticing is that I don't have very good ventilation in the cabin.  The
guy who built it used a 1-1/2 inch hose collecting air coming into the oil
cooler chamber.  Even on 75-80 degree days it gets pretty stuffy in there.
It seems like I've seen some builders use a NACA scoop on the side near the
front.  Is that normally used for ventilation?  If so, how big of a scoop
would I want to use?  Any suggestions/ideas?
