I misunderstood - I assumed that you wanted to use the heat from the

too many times I've hit the boot and it was squawked long ago without any

OK... here's another out of the box thought...

Let's route some of the exhaust through the leading edge and out of the tip
of the wing(let).... put it in a sheilded tube if you don't want the line
boy to get a tattoo.... what are the pro's and con's here???
