Here are a few photos of the engine cowl/ scoop arrangement. On the one
photo of the underside of the plane, the exhaust will go at a 45 degree
angle out to the side. The pipe will be isolated from the air scoop with
a small bulkhead and insulation, and will have some air blowing by from
the small naca ducts that I am putting in to the cowl to cool the coils,
alternator, and headers. I'm going to have louvers control the air
exiting from the heat exchangers. The scoop itself will resemble that of
a P-51. I didn't set out to build some sort of P-51 clone, but the
arrangement of everything just made sense to me.

Hope to be done with this in a couple of dozen man hours of work.

Slick Brian. Looks like a P51.
