  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 ;-)

  A P51 style scoop would be the answer.

 I usually refer to it as the FWB - Firewall Back.

 Yes, a P-51 style scoop is exactly what I envision.

 Since I made some significant mods for cooling so I re-did my W&B and the
 mods shed
 11 lbs.  Go figure.

Re: 11 lb weight loss...  Maybe that scoop isn't so ugly after all..  And it
works!
