Thanks Lynn,
I plan on fiberglass skin instead of fabric on the Delta's center-section belly and
very aggressive insulation for sound around the cockpit area..............I very much
appreciate your opinions...............
Thanks Again,

Lynn,
Another thought.............What do you think an "Extractor" system (In my "Delta's" case
one on each side of the bottom "V") consisting of large diameter tubes (5-6" ?) exiting
behind the cockpit with 2" tubes down the middle and open to forward motion and prop
blast would do to noise level ??.............
Kelly Troyer
Just a guess. The sound is conducted out the front of the tube as well as the back.
Having such a tube around the exit of each pipe might have some good effect. At least worth a try.
Or even end the pipes inside such a tube as a Swiss muffler. Sound control with a fabric skin will be tough.
