I think I've been with the group for about a year now.

I'm quoting loosley articles I've seen/read in Contact magazine about WWII
aircraft with belly scoops that encountered the same phenomenon. I think
they installed vanes to help the air make the turn.

By the end of the war the P51 belly scoop and duct were obsolete :-)
The bell shaped duct is IN! :-)

What are you guys planning on using in your new design?
How is it coming BTW?

Watch out for NemesisNXT. One of my hangar mates has already plunked his
money down. I think you can blow them away with a turbo three rotor.
You will probably need so much cooling the rads will have to go in the
aft fuselage.

Not with a 59" wide fuselage!!

We're currently working on a website.  This will take you to the 3 views of
the new design.  We'll get pictures up soon.

Corrected,

Cool. Looks fast. Roomy. Got any larger jpg's or the orginals of the three views you 
can send us. Looks like a two place.
