I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.

A hardly-used-anymore relic - most of its members no longer with us. Pax Americana?

Waiting for the snow to melt so I can take some field measurements of a building, so I cut up a business card and compared a Ducktail to an alternate location a bit higher.

Would be made of clear Polycarbonate or Acrylic.

Not sure yet what would happen with the flow/vortex and pressure level above the engine cooling inlet.








This is a side-by-side comparison, would not double Duck, although I guess one could.

As I understand it, the Ducktail, Teatray, and Whaletail all try to correct the approximately 30 degree roof angle to mimic an approximate 20 degree slope (almost like a louver - steps).

I retook the model pictures after removing the Ducktail and then played around with the "paint" program a bit to produce a marked-up composite.

The other day I backed up to my landscape trailer and got the ball perfectly located on the first try - and no I don't have one of those cameras in back!

Like a boss!
