Hangar Flying

Ok I made mine from a belden choke cable kit you get at Auto zone or any other auto parts store. mount the cable pull in a convienient place. as a realeas pin i use a AN 3 bolt ground a point on it drilled the head to accept the cable and floxed it in place using nyla flow tube. the pin slides between the 2 tubes .one tube is on the lid and the other would be on the canard cover. I put the wire thru the hole in the pin bent it over and it works like a champ. Hope this makes sense.

Well If you must.
yes you can feed them from your old NACA but then if your going to do that why do it at all?
If you must then reduce the size of the NACA make a small plenum using the old portion of the NACA one side will feed your oil cooler and the other is your RAM air for the carb. Carb ram air is connected using 3 in scat .At this point your naca will be way ahead of the original inlet probably at the area where you will have 6 sqin of inlet. Is that kinda clear its just a fast way of reducing the size of the NACA and creating a plenum. then go ahead and make your down draft intakes remember to project the intake well ahead of where they are attached to the cowel 2 to 3 inches or more is best. This gets them away from the boundry layer. T. So if you want to you can make a flat sheet of bid and glue up some angles on the inside of the existing NACA and use nut plates and screw it to fill the old NACA opening it makes it easy to play with to adjust the opening.Now you are going to have to figure out how to get  to the dip stick? you can cut the dip stick tube and route it where you want it with any ruber hose and hose clamps that will stand the temp and oil. attach it at your best location. take the old dip stick head measure your oil before you do this cut off the stem leave enough to attach a 1/8 in 7X9 cable that will reach far enough into the oil tank duplicate your oil maks on the cable using the known reference and swage on cable stops at say the 7 qt level and and 5 qt level or where ever you want as long as you understand the markings. Have fun. Hope I havent confused you to much. My only other comment is if you have a cool running engine. Dont do any of this its alot of work and there are no gaurantees.

Try a bilge blower. I made my set up up in the nose I am building and SQ 2000 I have the room. I also have an oil pump that scavanges the oil at the 3 quart level. So when the pump is on it has heat to a standard heater core 94 GM the blower and the 2 way air valve I have a defrost function. anyway its low preasure. This particular system is to bulky for the longs but u can just use the blower and an oil cooler and the carb heat valve to dump the hot air over the side in the nose gear. That way you can run off the high preasure lines like waiter does. Have fun fly warm. Oh yes Also you can just pick up air from your heat muff put the blower in your hell hole and blow it up to the front through the largest scat you can wrangel in there the blower will circulate 150 cuft a minute so you will have to make a switch. A friend of mine rums this and it will drive you out and its light and easy to make. no high preasure oil lines running thru the fuselage.
