Ok guys the true issue is re
We are on it, server issues big time.
Ok guys update.
The idea of having the Adjustable Airflow is nice but it needs to have a custom washer, although it does fix a problem ( that does not exist ) it also shows us the real issue a Tester was having.
Ok so here is whats going on, A tester told us that his vapor production has gone down to levels up non existence when he switched over from prototype to production model of the SR-71.
After identifying the issue as the third air hole and adding a washer to it in essence creating a adjustable air flow design. Good design but we cant implement it in house the idea having miss matched washers and parts that are not completely designed for the Sr-71 was not right in my head, its like taking a Ferrari and putting a home made rear wing on it.
Conclusion we will be sending out the air flow washers later so as it does not hold up the line. All you have to do is pay shipping, since this was not part of the Original Hercules and it is not a fix to anything only a additional option we believe it should have been included on the original Hercules, but since its not ready and will be included on later production models, we can ship them out when they are ready. Simple solution.
Now on to the real issue that is over looked.
The actual issue of the vapor reduction from prototype to production is air flow was being redirected through another path and not through the Hercules itself. What happens is when the Hercules heats up the teflon shield expands it creates a gap between the actual Sr71 and the teflon sheild, and the way the mouth piece is done the gap allows air to travel between this gap and thus avoid the internals of the Hercules and all you get is hot air, and also this causes vapor from the hercules to be pulled into this small corridor and create the oil issue on the outside.
All this or almost all of it is fixed by over the counter parts, but the Permanent fix is a custom washer that seals it all.
And what you need to do is unscrew the internal mouth piece screw by 1mm or 2 to gently create a small seal around it washer and press it down. Now this is not a permanent fix the custom top washer and bottom star washer will be shipped out to people who have orders through us.
Once a complete seal is made, the vapor production will increase but at the same time your air restriction will decrease.
