RE: Sig Citabria Build
It took several days of making one or two pieces, gluing them on with eopxy, and then making another couple pieces and gluing them, but I finally finished making the structures surrounding the firewall extensions and the cowl mounting blocks. I just realized that I didn't take any pictures. I will have to do that tonight.
I have attached a picture of the cowl mounted to the fuselage. Now, I have to figure out how I will mount the muffler. The muffler that came with the engine does not look like it will work without cutting more ugly holes in the cowl. I want to avoid that. The plans suggest mounting a curved pipe to the engine; however, the owner of my LHS suggests that these systems are somewhat fragile and short lived. I'll have to look for alternative ideas. I know that I have seen some before. Does anyone have any ideas?
