Like the idea Gary.

Did you notice any change in flight characteristics by covering the hole (besides the blown engine!).

I've still got plenty of clearance around and above the cylinder head within the engine cover, so I'm not TOO worried about overheating...

BTW Mike, looks like the replacement engine is going to do fine. It's one of the old ones I replaced the piston/liner with. No change needed in idle either, got a good 70 second idle with smooth transition to full power.. no hesitation..
