RE: Hornet
Here's what I have accomplished so far. I decided to modify the LEX and show the air intake bypass exit ducts in their closed position. I can't seem to find a picture anywhere that shows them open and it seemed like a easy mod to do. I used my Dremel with a cut off wheel and sawed the protruding duct off, cleaned up the opening a bit and made a backer out of 1/64" ply. The backer was ca'd in with glass cloth epoxied over the back to reinforce it. Then I made another 1/64" thick ply patch that fit into the opening and epoxied that in place. A little sanding, a bit of putty and primed. I think it turned out nice. I've made one of the strakes and taped it in place for the picture. Now I just have to duplicate this on the port side.
