Default RE: Ram Air Induction?

Update time! I flew the plane today with the ram air installed. At WOT, the scoop did give the plane a noticeable power increase, but when I went to throttle down, it wouldn't throttle down, until I got all the way to about 3 clicks above idle. It forced so much air into the carb, it overpowered the carb rotor and kept the engine running full speed. So, I lost my midrange. It was either idle or wide open. Oh well, it was fun experimenting with it! I'm not finished yet though, I'll keep tinkering with it.
