It was a lot of work, and I can't say as it gave me any benefit...maybe, but I'm not positive. Here's a picture. I started out with the curved fiberglas tube which I built, laying fiberglas over a section of PVC plumbing. I used it for awhile just as a curved tube, then later cut it along the vertical axis and added the air straightening vanes, and reassembled.

With all the modifications you have made to your engine, what changes did you make to the Jabiru serial number placard to improve it?? Just kidding, I'm enjoying all the good ideas you share with us.
