Tony,

Thanks for the support. Here is a picture of my chin cowl with the air duct baffle. I went back and checked out my fuse weights. This fuse was one of the heavy ones at 33 oz (fuse, canopy chin cowl). My #2 Eclipse was a lot lighter at 29.5 oz. My Smaragd-z was only 27 oz. So just staring with a light fuse and eliminating the 2+ oz repairs, I can easily get my next plane under the weight limit.

Thanks,

Steve
