Default RE: Composite-ARF Integral, kinda build thread

Jason...I noticed in the "early" electric Integrel photos, the ESC was mounted just forward of the landing gear..on the angle....in the chin cowl compartment area.......
In later photos ,I see the ESC mounted on the floor of fuse,forward of the batteries...and also on the left side ...fuse wall.....
Was there a cooling issue with the first position?....I would think with adaquete intake/airflow ..that this position would be a good one.......any feedback?
Also ..in the posts I read a lot about intake air...but very little about venting the intake...is the 3 :1 rule ....the standard? (meaning , vent openings should be 3 times the intake).....
Anyones feedback on esc position/cooling...and intake /venting would be most appreciated...
