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!
