Default RE: Don Smith Cessna T-50

Rich,

Glad to see you back at it. I'm still impressed at your attention to detail. a true labor of love. I'm sure you've thought of it already but I did a "custom" exhaust for my B-25 (top flite). I also had a servo mounted very near one of the flexible pipes. I ended up having to use a piece heat barrier fabric. I can't remember the exact name of the stuff but the gas turbine guys use it a lot as a heat protector. I caught while doing final engine test runs with the cowls and all in place. The heat melted the side of one of the servos bad enough to jam it up after about 4 min. Could have been disaster in the air.

Why the boxes around the cylinders ?
