Thanks, guys. I'm going to continue the way I'm going with DF inlets and no bypass.

I crashed my Maverick at Winamac about 4 years ago. In the meantime I found a new fuse and started rebuilding it last year. After finding a good deal on a used Artes Bee (original 12# version) I decided to turbinize it. The project has been on hold for a while, but now it's building season in Michigan. I'll get to it as soon as I finish putting my SM Gripen together.

I shortened the inlet about an inch so that it's flush with the front of the hatch. The engine is shoved back such that the exhaust cone is just aft of the hatch rear. That gave me enough room to put a 24 oz. Sullivan tank on each side in front of the engine. Also that will keep the heat away from the elevator servos.

The Artes Bee pushes my Enforcer to about 150 mph, so I think it will do fine in the Maverick. If I want more performance I can get it updated to 14#. I'll post some pictures once I get going on the Maverick.
