Default RE: Hangar-9 Sopwith Camel Build Thread

Bob,
I'll probably end up fabricating one myself or having one custom made. I'll contact them later this week and find out if they can help. Ihate to put an expensive exhaust on a $150 engine.


Got the little 15cc started today and she runs like a top. Total run time was probably 30 min. off and on. This little baby litterally sips fuel with an eye-dropper. I'll run it in a bit more before she flies. It's idling a bit fast but, that will improve with break-in. The transition and top end are very good.
My LHSdidn't have an exhaust deflector in the size Ineed but, there's other shops in town and I can always order one if Ican't find it locally. I hope to have her ready to fly on 1 Jan. for our club's annual "Black-eyed Pea" event. So I've got about a week to get her ship-shape. Ineed to install another switch for the ignition too. Shouldn't take but, a couple of hours providing Ican find the parts Ineed.
