Default RE: DERIVATIVE, New 2X2

Completed the chin cowl treatment. It now sports a header hood and hot air hoodedexits for better engine cooling

The pipe needs some extra cooling air hence the naca duct to make up some of the air lost out of the chin cowl.

The inside of the cowl was treated a little different by adding some composite reinforcement. The chin cowl will sit on its crutch at this area and in the past it tended to buckle cracking and flaking the paint. It won't happen this time

At the fuse rear additional air exits were installed to vent the pipe
