That is interesting, Jim.
My RV has louvers on both sides
of the cowl, so if I understand what you are saying, I might pick up less drag
due to the turbulence created up front that flows back over the entire
fuselage. Do you have any references about this effect other thanthe one
already mentioned?

If you try this, you
might want to take care to avoid "rooster tail" exit drag. Studies have
shown that is a real significant component of drag. Canard folks have
picked up significant airspeed by making them go away.
