How are those fin baffles attached and is that wood Windsurfa?
@Rbean thank you so much, you have convinced me to do an airdam, what material did you use there?
Im not sure I nmeed to duct air back to the top, but would you suggest opening up the firewall to allow air through. wouldnt this create a low pressure in the fuse, drawing air into the cowl from the opening where I am now planning the air dam?
Thanks
I am cheap, lazy, and prefer flying to building or repairing or inventing more solutions. I go to Michaels and bought a 2x4 sheet of black 1/4 foam board and cut it to fit the inside of the cowl just in front of the jug. I use Gorilla glue to attach it, and notch out for all the stuff the engine has on it that prevents me from putting the cowl back on. THEN I cut a slot slightly larger than the core of the jug out directly in front of the jug - I do NOT cut to clear all the fins, but allow the fins to extend 1/16 to 1/8 inch beyond the baffling. This effects Windsurfer's baffling but is no where near as fancy or great looking AND it provides for less air in which means less air needs to be moved out.
