[QUOTE="graywoulf, post: 70307, member: 8691"] As Spark 427 said, when the Spark is in forward flight, the opening around the camera gimbal takes air in much like a hood scoop on a muscle car would and channels it into the Spark's body and to the cooling fan which then pushes the air out through the side vent openings. The idea of cutting the hole in the cover is in my opinion is not going to provide any additional cooling unless you are just flying up and down all of the time. The cooling fan blades are designed to move air outward to the sides to push it out the vents and not to move air from top to bottom. I had to laugh at the guy on YouTube that made a big deal out of that modification. Moral of this story is... [B][SIZE=6] "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" ;) :D[/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
