Joe,I cut the inlets off leaving only about 1" and a half.I used a 50 oz Dubro tank mounted on the bottom of the fuse pushed up to the inlets.A T-500 turbine then was mounted with the starter nose right behind the tank which would put it to the rear of the hatch opening.I used a Tams pipe which he designed for the conversion without the bypass.The UAT was mounted in between the front wheel opening and the Dubro tank.As far as flying,it was a little slow to pick up speed.Once you made the first turn ,it would start to move.I firmaly believe after seeing Mavericks with a bypass and without,the ones with a bypass have better performance.The amount of air hitting the exposed equipment in the fuselage does cost a performance loss and slower acceleration.
