Default Running Tail Cones on SSMV 4 Blade props

Just a random thought, would anyone think there is a benifit to run tail cones on my SSMV props. I know it sounds maybe foolish but I am a machinist so making them is an hour of a boring day, and though at the very least they would look cool. I just wonder if they would actually smooth out the prop vortex and make a little differance, who knows probly would never see anything.

Sounds cool & would look cool so it has to be worth something.

Yes, there most certainly would be benefit to it. I've predicted appreciable gains before.
