Default RE: Aero Works P-51?

James,

Were you using the tiny rubber O-rings that only seem to last a couple of times on installing the cowl? I'm currently looking for a source for those O-rings as I don't have any that tiny and past experience indicates they may help prevent the problem

Russ,

I think it was you I had the discussion with about the Sierra roll pins? No directions with the gear and I find this package of four roll pins in one of the oleo struts. Had to call Darryl to ask him what they were for.... I know I had an exchange with someone about that but I don't recall it being James????? But thank you for the thought.

Also where is your ignition module mounted, on the bottom of the engine box like AW shows or did you move it inside the fuselage? I've seen several reports here of dead sticks which turned out to be the module overheating about five minutes or so into a flight and then it shuts down. So some have moved the module inside and that's why mine is inside. The other possible problem is that something has changed in the fuel system, blockage, air leak or the like which has cause the engine to go lean and get hot and they'll shut down.
