Brief Description:  Removing ice shields

It's said that when air has to change directions by more than 7 degrees it causes it to lose it's laminar flow over the object causing the change. The idea is to add these Ice shields to prevent ice buildup on the elevator counterweights during icy conditions. The problem is that they are incredibly draggy the way they sit. I chose to remove these and will be molding a custom ice shield that has a much more gentle slope to improve aerodynamics.
