Hi,
The stock duct has two concave divots molded in on the bottom to clear the main wheels when retracted. I was concerned about this because I'm not using the stock duct (since it's too big for the BVM fan) and I wasn't sure how to modify a mylar tube to accommodate the wheels. It turns out that the smaller diameter of the fan solves the problem on its own. The wheels clear as-is!
The inlet fits into the face of the fan shroud, instead of the other way around. That makes for an even smoother flow to the impeller. It looks like the big fairing is going to be a problem getting in and out of the small hatch, but I'll figure it out.
