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

Thanks
for passing this along. It's certainly something to consider before hacking
holes in my paint job. Gee Ed, how about slapping some 200mph duct tape over
your louvers and let me know if you see a speed increase before you overheat?
