unanticipated

basjoos,I've got the same thing going on with the T-100.I've got that blister on top of the hood and it not only shields the cowl area from direct on-coming flow,it also kicks the air over and around the windshield a bit,effectively reducing the pressure.---------------------------- My plan is to incorporate a NACA inlet at the leading edge of the blister,with a duct running between blister and hood top,to an air-tight enclosure which takes in the cowl inlet,dodging all the wiper mechanicals.----------------------------------------------- My thought is that I can harvest some of the ram-air and bring it into the cabin.Otherwise,the windows are cracked,and when the humidity goes through the roof,I've got to turn the blower on.
