Default RE: Jet-Tech Maverick conversion

Jet Lag,
How did the Mavericks work out without the bypass and inlets?

I am in the process of converting my Maverick. After looking into it I didn't feel that the kevlar tanks or a bypass were really needed. I am mounting my Artes Bee a bit further back than most conversions I've seen, near the back of the hatch. This creates space for two 24 oz. saddle tanks in front of the turbine. A 10 oz. hopper will go up front between the inlets.

My biggest concern is if I use the original inlets that I may have too much air flow through the fuse in flight.

I'd be interested in your comments and why you have decided to go with smaller inlets and a bypass on your next conversion.

Joe
