"Bonnets away!!!"


Asterix

Recommended Posts

Get a ducted nose !! - I have forgotten a couple of times to lock my bonnet down where it meets the scuttle and got away with it at some high speeds - swear its down to the ducted nose pushing the air up and across the top of the bonnet  :t-up:  :t-up:

But then wouldn't the air above the bonnet be at an even higher pressure, exacerbating the lift?
