Newbie,
Just curious, what is ugly about it? What do you consider the "design flaw" that a design class would have solved? Wayne HP-14 "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/ wrote in message ...

The F-8 makes it look like the pilot was put on as an after thought, like it had to go somewhere but we don't want to starve the engine. Looking at S-4 Tantalizing Takeoffs pic just sums it up for me. Put a cover over the intake it it is all smiles. Just a thought I still would like a ride in one. Gotta be a blast going fast!
