Vic, here's some pics. My feeling was that since the center section
doesn't really
provide any lift, why not funnel some air to the prop.
That tall engine and radiator blocks enough air but at least some gets
distributed evenly.
Fairings are in my imagination but not likely to be as fancy as uncle
Craig's.
Today's flying was super. -also non eventful. (mumble mumble)

I'm sure those "dams" help keep the air from spilling off the wings, which should help quite a bit...
That was one of the problems of flying without the gapseal...not just the
gap, but the lift lost from "spilling" into that area....
Looks good Bob, glad to see pictures...
Gotta Fly...

Thanks for your time anyway.

Got it! Richards reply mentions Bob D. Yeah thats the ticket, Bob D. come on
down.
Do you have pic's of that Kolb in the pic's you posted that would show more
detail of the fiberglass piece in front of or actually included in the gap
seal?

Vic,
Is this the plane with the gap seal you are interested in? If so it is Uncle
Craig's, I do not think he posts on the list much but Tim Gherkins can speak
for him and his mod's. Tim, you out there?
