With all of this talk about intake manifolds it got me to wondering
were is the best place to pull intake air from.
Unlike a regular airplane engine the rotary intake comes out on
top of the engine. I saw on a pressuse drawing that there is
higher pressure on the aft upper cowling. This seems like a good
place to draw air from, other than rain getting in when parked.
The other possibility is to turn and go up to the nose cowling to
catch some of the pulses and pressure from the prop.
I would like to hear everybodies thinking on this.

Also could you guys include your e-mail addresses in case somebody
wants to get ahold of you on something not rotary related.

Thanks,

The prop pulse idea would be a good one if you had an
exact two to one PSRU. The prop pulse could then be synced
to the required intake pulse.

The Ross planetary PSRU is something like 2.17:1.

My email address is the same as this news letter.
