Only recommendation I can make=2C stay well away from the exhaust pipe=2C a
s the fumes swirl around the fuselage and can get into the cockpit. A good
place and easy to do is the bottom corner of the windscreen.Karl

I can=92t find any mention in any of my build manuals of the NACA scoop mou
ldings that came with my XS kit=2C or how and where to fit them.

I notice that other builders appear to have made their own choices of locat
ion - see the composite picture in my dropbox at:

I=92d like to site my scoops in a way that makes it easy to fit eyeball ven
ts on the inside=3B as the eyeball vents I=92ve got have their own on-off c
ontrol I don=92t plan to use the adjustment feature supplied (one of which
broke anyway within minutes of unwrapping it). I=92d prefer to avoid the ne
ed to construct serpentine ductwork (as related recently in The Europa Flye
r) and want to keep the eyeball vents clear of my knees. I imagine that low
er locations are more likely to be high-pressure and higher locations less
so or even low-pressure=2C but I wonder if there are any real no-go areas.

The fitting instructions packed with the scoops (made by Ayton & Co & suppl
ied through Aircraft Spruce) show how to fit the scoops on the inside face
of the aircraft skin=2C but as the flange is only about 2mm recessed from t
he outer surface of the scoops I think it will be necessary to cut back the
inner skin to allow them to sit flush with the outer skin.
