Same thing happened to me. I caught it during inspection (and introspection) before trying to mate the halves. My QB fuse shipped 11/06.

The installation manual indicates that a 1" scat tube is needed for cooling---and there is a 1" connection on the back. Where should I get that cooling air? I also have the Lightspeed ignition for the upper plugs, and that too asks for a scat tube. Since my console is located aft of the firewall on the subpanel do I really need the cooling and, if so, where do I get the cooling air for that item? Those cooling items brings up another question. We are told that we have to make our baffling as leak proof (see the last RVator where it is recommeded to smooth the upper cowling for less leaking) as possible but then we go and punch these huge holes for the various scat tubes including the massive one for the oil cooler. I mean what does a pinhole leak around the prop governor matter when you are leaking huge amounts thru the various scat cooling holes? What am I missing?

The inlet ramp actually gets it's air prior to the point that provides pressure to the interior upper high p ressure portion of=C2-cowl, almost like ram air. Most advice regarding se aling the upper portion of the cowl are to make sure cooling air goes where it's meant to go, with 180 kts air being forced into the upper region of t he cowl, smooth airflow, through the components with the least amount of tu rbulence is paramount, your goal and I'm sure I'll get singed in the proces s is smooth airflow to all the areas...seal all the gaps to make that happe n. I have a baffle on my oil cooler to deflect the air back and down to the opening behind the cooler=C2-on the bottom cowl... I hope this=C2-will aid in continuing the smooth airflow through the cooler and out the bottom aft portion of the cowl.=C2- Rick S. 40185 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Rowe" Sent: Friday, April 4, 2008 7:12:44 PM (GMT-0800) America/Los_Angeles Subject: RV10-List: Scat tube questions I have the plane power 70 amp alternator.=C2- The installation manual ind icates that=C2- a 1"=C2-scat tube is needed for cooling---and there is a 1" connection on the back.
