Here is where I will need everyone's help, and this is on a strategy to help make the air exit. I want a 3 to 1 ratio of air exit to air intake. SO far, this is what I have done. Cut out the bottom of the "radiator" box, and created a lip. However, this area is not enough for the air exit. I need more!!! DO you include the cut outs on the bottom of the fuselage as part of the air exit?

I have these, but i do not like them. They are prone to breakage, and they are an eyesore.

I attached a picture, not mine, of a Comp Arf Yak with the broken louvres.

started to cover the fuselage. Will have to cut out the holes and install the landing gear, then the tail wheel, then the canisters and the motor.
I actually burn the monokote out from the holes on the fuselage, that way, the monokote sticks to the fuselage.

More progress.
Done for the day!!

Next is to cover the stabs, finish the wings, then prime the top cowl.

Just installed the tail wheel, and I have glued the rudder on to the hinges. This is a White Rose Tail wheel.
