--> RV8-List message posted by: "Shane Summerhays" <ssummerhays@attbi.com>
Dear friends,
My Father and building partner are clipping along on our fuselage and
have ordered our finish kit recently. We have not yet bought a motor
but we are considering the superior xp360 injected version. It is a
parallel valve with a vertical induction. My question is how much
drag does the chin scoop create with the vertical induction?
Does the slight boost from the ram air on a chin scoop version outweigh
the lack of drag from a non chin scoop cowl that is used with horizontal
induction? Does anyone have any hard numbers to compare the 2 cowl
versions?. I think the xp360 can be converted to a horizontal draft
induction but is it worth the bother? Any comments would be
appreciated. The bottom line is given the same motor which cowl is
faster, chin scoop or non chin scoop?

I have flown my 8 in 0 degree F temps with my leather flight jacket and have
been comfortable. I have the biggest heat muf that van sells. I filled it
with pieces of door springs. Have not had anyone in the back seat in real
cold weather, but have had no complainta anytime.
