    I can not address this problem as I have not run my engine, but I was told by Jim McCormick to build a square box in front of the carburetor. I'll include a couple of pictures.

    From: "graeme bird" <graeme@gdbmk.co.uk>
    Graham, I do value your comments but I would like to understand this, there are already two, three inch holes and a vast letter box with radiators in plus the mono wheel, 8 flap hinges hanging down into the air flow. The amount of energy the ventrui needs to extract to spin the gyro is tiny. Is it because the air is rotating around the fuselage and thus the drag the venturi causes is due to a larger area? The icing aspect is interesting - wouldnt really want that to ice first in cloud. -------- Graeme Bird G-UMPY Mono Classic/XS FWFD 912ULS/Warp drive FP Build nearing completion Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=336719#336719

    I must share this slowly-realised opinion, since I use it regularly. First, I am in my 14th year of construction - for many reasons, one of which is sloth. However, Bob Nuckols suggested "Shoo Goo", also known as E6000 I believe - and which is locally available at the Dollar Store. It is clear, colourless and an alcohol-based adhesive which squeezes out (not really liquid) and sets fairly quickly. By the time the day is up, it's pretty hardened but it continues until really stiff. It does not transmit electricity, but CAN be pried out/off with a blade if necessary. It hardens in the tube after about a year. I used it to fix cable runs when an epoxied base was not feasible, but then I needed something running a bit thinner. I mixed an equal amount of Toluol [acetone don't do it )into a small plastic container (Kodak 35mm) with an equal dollop of Shoo Goo and shook and stirred it until reduced in viscosity. Magic. I may now apply the thinner adhesive onto exposed wiring, and adjust the thickness progressively (if necessary) with a bamboo stick, and in two days it's hard as nails and really tenacious. When the 'rubber nipples" don't completely seal off the air, thinned Shoo Goo does it nicely - and easily. I have tested it after 5 years and found it still as good as ever. Anyway, it's worth the try....... Ferg

    Hi Graeme,=0Afirst as someone said the venturi might not work too well insi de a duct, I would =0Awant to redesign it as a letter box venturi perhaps? However I suspect that the =0Ainefficient air motors driving the two gyros may well need a good half =0Ahorsepower to give enough suction.(correction, pressure, there's no such thing =0Aas suction is there?) A good venturi wo uld be more efficient than a vacuum pump, =0Anevertheless, a solid state sy stem would be inherently more reliable and less =0Aenergy wasteful.=0AAgree about all the stuck on ducts, this is why people like Frans Veldman et al =0Aworked so hard to optimize their cooling, I'm sure with gratifying resul ts.=0ANot worth the effort to reinvent a well designed wheel, ( the factory cooling =0Asystem was OK but could have done better !:-)=0A=0AGraham=0A=0A =0A=0A=0A________________________________=0AFrom: graeme bird <graeme@gdbmk .co.uk>=0ATo: europa-list@matronics.com=0ASent: Tuesday, 12 April, 2011 18: 11:39=0ASubject: Europa-List: Re: place for venturi -in air duct?=0A=0A--> Europa-List message posted by: "graeme bird" <graeme@gdbmk.co.uk>=0A=0AGrah am, I do value your comments but I would like to understand this, there are =0Aalready two, three inch holes and a vast letter box with radiators in p lus the =0Amono wheel, 8 flap hinges hanging down into the air flow.

    Grahame, Sorry, can't answer on the forum because it always refuses my log in, but: My understanding is that E6000 is an industry designator (must look it up) and so p'raps it can be googled into submission. Trust you both in good order..... Ferg
