that may be as good as it gets.   not much you can do about the engine =
except get a sightline around it somehow.

putting it in a glass wingtip seems to work.

using a commercial whisker on the top of the vstab also works.    It's =
aesthetically very unpleasing but I think it's down in the 1mph penalty =
area.
