Default RE: Yak 55SP 2.6M converted to Turboprop!!!

This particular TP has been massaged by Wren to eliminate gearbox failures.. it is a MKV
so I'm not worried about that. Ihave mounted this TPin the same manner in other planes as this one with "o" problems..
but I am concerned about the exhaust.. the safe thing would be to just extend it through the sides of the cowl, that way
there will be no extra back pressure, I'm still mulling this over.....
I repaired another YAK LG using the exact same technique shown here quite some time ago.. it is still flying.....
