My 33% Cub and the DRI are all charged up. I will be checking the wind forecast and hopefully I will get some flying in around 6:00 today. I need to run a couple tanks of gas thru the DRI and I will start working on that shortly. I am hoping my buddy can make it out to shoot some video.
Later!!
Anthony

Status: offline 		Here are some photos of how the cowl fits. Everything is pretty much done with the exception of the window frame and the hinging of the ailerons. The prop is a Vess 17x6, and everything under the cowl fits well with plenty of room to spare...

Status: offline 		Thanks Anthony.  I think I'm getting the hang of upholstry... somewhat anyway.

VJ, that looks really clean!  I'm using (or at least going to be... some time) a Xoar 17x6.  You'll have to let me know how yours does since we're using the same power plant.  Also, how do you think the cooling will be?  Robert had to open his cowl up a bit more to get enough cooling.  I am probably going to glass in a "port" to scoop up the air over the head.  As it sets right now the intake at the bottom of the cowl will pass under the spark plug and do nothing for cooling.  Let me know what ya'll think!

Take care,
David

Status: online 		David, take a look at VJ's second photo. You can see his head fin's directly in front of the opening's. If I'm not mistaken he's running the 20cc. I went with the 26cc which is an inch taller putting mine below the vent opening's. Good work there VJ. And can you confirm on your engine size?

Status: offline 		Ah, I see Robert.  Those are a bit lower than scale but I see how they line up with the cylinder head.  I guess this would be good enough to cool?  Got to remember, I'm a newby when it comes to gassers.

Thanks for the input!
David

Status: offline 		Your right Robert, I am running the 20cc engine.  I think I won't have to add any baffles as Robert said the air flow should be traveling over the clinder head.   I will be monitoring this closely with my non contact infra-red thermometer when the time comes.

Status: offline 		Hey Robert any suggestions for floats?  I don't know if there are any out there that would hook-up to the Robarts landing gear?  If I need to add bracing/mounts for the rear I should do it now.

Status: online 		VJ, there are several float mfg's available, Sig, BUSA, and Hanger-9 to name a few. None are attachable to the existing gear. All will require a mount block further to the rear than the standard gear mount's. If entertaining the idea of float's I would get them before covering and add the mount's. Then they could be easily interchangeable.

Status: offline 		I decided to try something new for the gas tank.  I just bought the 10 oz. RotoFlow gas tank.     http://www.jlproducts.net/
It has a brass rotary fuel pickup which is suppost to supply better fuel flow.  I'll let you know if it works... Plane is disassembled and ready for final sanding. Rats , I hate sanding...
