Dan, I have an air inlet in the exact area you describe with the blue circle. the one I have is on the side which is the down stroke of the prop. That happens to be the left side while sitting in the cockpit for the Corvair engine. Anyway, that area of downward stroke produces very little air input because of the angle of the inlet. I am going to add a scoop over my inlet to force more air in. I think you will get good flow on the upward stroke side because the prop will be blasting that side with forced air. As soon as I make a scoop and install it, I will let you know how much difference it makes. I will most likely just Duct Tape it in place for the test flight.
