Hi all, Just doing the cowlings,- any thoughts please on fitting the intakes with grills to prevent F.O.D or would this impair cooling ?? Thanx in advance for any ideas. Paul Munford kit 625 tri, 912ULS

Hi! Paul and Vanessa,
Now why the dickens would you need grills on the intakes when anything likely to enter would have been shredded by the prop first?
Sorry to answer your question with another question ?
Regards
Bob Harrison G-PTAG 914 though !

Paul, Overheating issues are very common with most prop/unmodified cowling set ups, suggesting it is a bad idea to put anything in that will reducecooling air flow. Regards, David Joyce, GXSDJ

Paul,
You did not specify which intakes on the cowl.
Nonetheless, adding resistance to any of them is not a good idea
in my opinion, short of a detailed CFD analysis to demonstrate
adequate airflow, heat transfer and minimal parasitic airframe drag.
Have you ever seen them in other aircraft?
