Some pictures of my install I my Velocity SE. First flight was a month
  ago.

   Yep, that is a big ol' draggy (and ugly) scoop hanging off the lower cowl,
   but it
   sure improved cooling. As testing progresses I hope to make it smaller,
   prettier,
   more aerodynamic and hopefully with much less drag. But, hey, did I
  mention
   I flew
   the thing ;-)

  Chris,

  If the line feeding the redrive is a hardline, you may want to
  consider either bracing it so it can't vibrate or replacing it with
  braided SS, or both.  It is not a matter of IF, but WHEN it will
  break.

  Congrats on your lift-off.  I'll have to fly down to Houston and see
  you one of these days.  Or, you're always welcome at Lockhart (50R).
  Any chance of you making Charlie's fly-in this Sept?

  Mark,

  Funny you mention that as I had thought the same thing.  That particular
  piece was
  fabricated/installed by a buddy who was lending a hand way back when.
  Changing it out
  had occurred to me but since it was working and for a long time so much was
  proof of
  concept I have yet to do so....however, with your comment, I will be
  prompted to have
  it done, likely in the next few days while rain is keeping me grounded.

  I finally posted as I assumed I would get some feedback....it is
  welcome....thanks

  Chris

 Chris,

 One other thing we have learned is to use steel fittings FWF,
 especially the small dash 4 AN size.

 Since you're flying a pusher, do you refer to the engine side of your
 a/c as FWR (firewall rearward)?

 Mark S


Could universally refer to it as the "hot side" of the firewall..
