I am sure that you all have seen the "fences" on an airliners wing, those are the small 1 1/2"x 1 1/2" aluminum pieces on the top of the wings. They direct the air flow over the wing. Well, the clecos were installed to study the effect of the air over the scoop and unto the windshield. We had hoped that they would redirect the flow of air and thus reduce the amount of bugs that hit the windshield.

It would depend on if the clecos were vertical or horizontal, here in China they are horizontal and decidedly do deflect inbound objects.   John, AKA, tin-man
