<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paul,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is a good idea. We sell the scoops
but I can vouch for the nasa duct idea. It is on the plane I flew at
Nats. There's a picture on our website (<A
href="http://www.aeroslave.com">www.aeroslave.com</A>). Go to the
Symphony page and scroll to the bottom. Also take a look at the chrome
rendering picture. On this you can see how the nose of the fuse curves
so that a hole cut in the right spot is actually going to gobble some air
from the oncoming freestream. One thing I like about the nasa duct is
it gives me a finger hold for my pointer finger because the Symphony fuse
front is so wide you can't really grab it well. Also, I put a black CF
reverse scoop under the duct hole so you can't look in and see the
crankcase. Remember the incoming wind doesn't need to blow on the
crankcase. It will blow around the engine and be drawn into the faster
moving air moving over the head. This draws the heat from the whole
crankcase area.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>There are a few options... If you don't like the looks of
having a scoop on top of the fuselage nose, you can use a nasa duct.
All you will see</DIV>
<DIV>is a somewhat teardrop shaped hole in the fuse....
The other way is to place a scoop on top. Aeroslave has scoops
you can order, or make one</DIV>
<DIV>yourself and bond it on. I like the nasa duct because you can
simply grind the duct hole in the fuse and reseal the raw edges
without making</DIV>
<DIV>a mess of the paint job. The air directing scoop is bonded on
the inside of the plane and directs air onto the crankcase. I
don’t have any</DIV>
<DIV>pics of the ones I've used. Maybe someone out there can
help. If not, I could sketch it out for you.... It's pretty
simple to do, and doesn't take </DIV>
<DIV>much time.</DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> [NSRCA-discussion] Engine
cooling</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hello all,<BR><BR>Well after about 20 flights or so I
finally solved my engine problem. The engine was getting hot but
only the crankcase half of the engine. The head had good cooling
but air could not get to or away from the crank case. The problem
is I now fly 5-6 flights one after the other with no down time between
flights. Last time I flew the plane the field was always packed so
I would fly a flight and not fly again for a half hour or so, so the
engine had a chance to cool down even though there was little to no
airflow to the bottom half of the engine.<BR><BR>The question of the day
is...How are people putting scoops on the top of the engine compartment
to get cooling air in to the crankcase? I have a makeshift scoop
made from the plastic lackaging from a hotwheels car but need to make
and install a permanent scoop. The plane is really ugly with the
makeshift scoop but I have flown it and it proved to keep the engine
cooler and the engine seems to be getting better with every flight as
opposed to worse like it was. <BR><BR>Thanks in advance for the
help. My guess is I will need to fabricate something as I am
leaving for a contest on the 21st. It will be my first contest in
about 10 years and I cannot wait.<BR><BR>Paul LaChance<BR>Va Beach,
