Isn't that why some of the old airplanes (like the SE.5) had the exhaust extended back along the fuselage, to get the exhaust past the pilot? You could do your Model A Piet that way, eh?I have found that I've had to secure the screws on the brackets that hold the leading edge of the vertical stabilizer to the top longerons, apparently due to propeller slipstream buffet. They were working themselves loose so i epoxied them in. This leads me to believe that if you divert your Model A exhaust aft like that, you might end up with some smoke oil residue on your tail feathers as the propwash picks it up and swirls it around the tail.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________The average US Credit Score is 675.
