Here are some pics

Wind tunnel

This confirms the ideas I had and could possibly help me win some races next year.

Stefan,your results may work out better in full scale.At 1/24-scale,your fan would have to deliver 480-mph air to develop a turbulent boundary layer and establish the kind of 3-D flow you'll encounter 'bigger.'
