Well done David - that's what I was looking for.

There was a recommended position from Europa for the NACA vent but I
can't lay my hands on it at present. From memory it was along the split
line of the top and bottom of the 'canoe'. I thought it was in the
Company Tech talks but I have failed to find it.
Hope this gives a pointer.

Rowland Carson <rowlandcarson@gmail.com> I can't find any mention in any
of my build manuals of the NACA scoop mouldings that came with my XS
kit, or how and where to fit them. I notice that other builders appear
to have made their own choices of location - see the composite picture
in my dropbox at:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/hkyd4ldm1x634id/scoop_locations.jpg?dl=0 I'd
like to site my scoops in a way that makes it easy to fit eyeball vents
on the inside; as the eyeball vents I've got have their own on-off
control I don't plan to use the adjustment feature supplied (one of
which broke anyway within minutes of unwrapping it). I'd prefer to avoid
the need to construct serpentine ductwork (as related recently in The
Europa Flyer) and want to keep the eyeball vents clear of my knees. I
imagine that lower locations are more likely to be high-pressure and
higher locations less so or even low-pressure, but I wonder if there are
any real no-go areas. The fitting instructions packed with the scoops
(made by Ayton & Co & supplied through Aircraft Spruce) show how to fit
the scoops on the inside face of the aircraft skin, but as the flange is
only about 2mm recessed from the 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. All input on this topic welcome! in friendship
