Here are two pictures of a very fast Tailwind  built by Red   Hamilton
    that I have taken from the Tailwind list.  I am sure they  don't  mind.
      The first photo shows an angled intake which did not work   because it
    was in the boundary layer. There was NO increase in MP.     The  second
    photo shows the improved intake which produced .4"Hg more  MP.   In the
    second example, the prop clears the intake by only  1/2 inch.

      I was surprised that the boundary layer formed so fast in the
    buffeting
    air coming off of the prop.     It is something we need to  keep  in mind
    when building the belly inlet for our rads and oil coolers.

Matt-

The photos are reversed in order.  Number one has become number
two.   Jerry

I reversed them.
I don't know what you did the first time. What program
did you use to send them? They did not come as attachments
so they did not get forwarded the first go around. I had
to save them and then reattach them.
The Mac does some strange things sometimes.

They were standard jpegs. I dragged them off an e-mail I received to
the desk top and then attached them to the message I sent.
Routine stuff from my end.     Jerry
