Has anyone changed the cooling air intake location and shape (diffuser)
for a XS / Rotax install?
It seems that if the duct was slight shorter with a proper shaped lip,
something like the Katana Extreme photo attached, may be a better
mousetrap??
By having the entrance of the diffuser airfoil shaped, if done properly
with the flat side on the inside, it could decrease speed and increase
pressure which is exact what we want, and even give a bit of forward
thrust.
Also included a picture of Gilles diffuser.
