Just cut your own.
Cut straight forward from the rear edge of the lower cowling about 9 inches,
making one cut on each side, even with the exhaust tunnels on the
fuselage. Then cut in toward the center of the flap from the end of each
cut, but not all the way -- leave about 2 inches uncut in the middle. Now
you can bend the flaps down about an inch and a quarter or so, hold them in
place with popsicle sticks and crazy glue and use a 2- or 3-bid layup on inside
and out to make some sides. You end up with something that looks like a
permanently open cowl flap on each side. This gives adequate clearance for
the pipes, and also increases the negative pressure area for cooling air.
A little micro to fair it all in, and it's done.
Don't cost nuthin', and you
don't have to wait three months. I've done it that way on two ES's and it
worked fine.
