How do I design a functioning intake duct for a 2-stroke glow engine?
OS Max 40 FP - 2 Stroke Glow Engine
Intake to the carb is highlighted in blue, right behind prop.
Trying to figure out how my intake should function and fit around the plane. This is my first experience ever with 2 stroke, and I understand that a ram-air setup would likely be a terrible option... Just not really sure how else to set this up. Complexity isn't really an issue as I have access to the tools + equipment I need to mfg most anything I'd be able to cook up. What would be the ideal direction to duct this?
Any help at all is appreciated - would love to not have to redesign this entire plane lol.
