Al,
Any photos of the inlet duct, is it at the wing root.
Do the ducts cause any problem ie. extra drag or reduced lift in that
area.

No photos yet on the inlet scoop, but the opening you can see in the photo;
basically 1.25" slot 23" long with a couple of strengthening bridges.

I'm sure there will be some drag; but I think small.  This is in the area
behind the strake; so would not expect any effect on lift.
