Joe, Maybe a stupid question, but are those NACA airscoops fore of the fuselage widest point?
Mine are slightly aft, and therefore in a low pressure area, and this is why they don't work. My plan is to do exactly what you describe: make a flap that stretches in the airstream when you open the NACA airscoop. But that's low on my list of priorities, so I haven't done the design yet.

I remember seeing someone's at the Gathering a couple years ago that had some sort of slide or something that popped out to pick up air from the slipstream. Anyone remember them or have any ideas???
