Hey all,

             I'm looking to convert an AV-8A to a C and wondering if someone can give me some details on the retractable air dam part of the Lift Improvment DeviceS.  Just need to know where the door was located at the front and if it was just a panel added to the belly or if it was like the rear airbrake with a door and well?  Thanks.

The air dam appears flush from any distance, although close ups show it to be a skin thickness proud of the surface.

It's the slightly raised area aft of the nose gear bay, between the ADEN pods.
