Everytime I start to read about this stuff I just want to get carboard and tape and go at it Just no time for this lately...
I hear you. I'm hoping the end plates will stabilize some of that air, but even if it fails, I'm okay with it. I like the learning process. And the small accomplishments. I like the learning and teaching community on the forum. If only this stuff had existed when I was a teen!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
