Continued banter from other thread -

Yeah, exactly like that. LOL

I was talking about the full shell though. Seems like it's just easier to make the whole thing, rather than worrying about compound air effects caused by the open area between spoilers. - To me, anyway. I could be wrong, it's happened before.

But, it seems like you've got the right idea, so I'll shut up now :P

Oh, on your wheel fairings (kilts): If your flares are ABS, You can get a spare set that will allow you to build the fairings from ABS, and you can actually "weld" them together with Acetone. (ABS melts to a putty in acetone, and will bond to other ABS as the Acetone evap's)

This might make it appear cleaner, and will leave a smoother wheel area for you to look at. Just a thought, you might not even care.

Good work so far, though, keep it up! Always nice to see someone working on a beast of burden!
