The most important thing is that your "exhaust" volume is twice that of your "intake". This creates a good airflow. Although I haven't seen a real-life production model yet, I've seen a few pictures and Jason told me that the holes were already there in the cheek cowls for exhaust. The attached pictures are simply of the bottom from the nose looking back. Please excuse the mess on the work table




Hey Scott,

Thanks for posting the pictures mate. Your bench looks spotless compared to my shop at the moment.

I believe these cooling holes or something similar will be done in the factory for future deliveries. Correct me if I'm wrong Bryan.

The stab servo cut-outs will also be done in the factory for future deliveries.

Cheers,
Jason.
