Doug,
Nothing wrong with your idea. I might put a lot of them to help 
evacuate the inside of the fuselage. Aero guys have a fit about air 
flowing inside the fuselage though!
You could put a NACA inlet backwards and air disturbance would be 
minimized or you could do what I did and drill a 1 1/4" hole under 
the flywheel and not worry about it. ( I have a second one back by 
the rearend).
