Fairing for heater vent
by Randy Johnson » Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:15 pm
The vent is a round 3" tube exhaust located near the bottom of the nose of the fuselage that's about as aerodynamic as a refrigerator box, and almost as attractive. It's round shape and size have to create drag on an otherwise sleek and slippery profile.
Another solution would by to trim the excess tubing protruding from the skin of the aircraft, although the protrusion may serve an important purpose of keeping exhaust heat off of the aircraft skin...
Any thoughts?
