We decided to move our combustion air and firewall oil cooler runner ducts from flat bottom-facing duct connections to side exiting ducts. We’re also making the ends permanently attached to the firewall so they are very rigid, as we’d had issues with them pulling the cowl screw out and collapsing. We’re also added a little airfoil shape to the NACA nose to improve flow hopefully.
