Here's a pic of the 'box' I built to get the engine out further from the firewall - all it is is a couple of pieces of plywood with a hole drilled through to feed the fuel lines to the tank. I just simply replaced the supplied engine mount screws with longer ones.

The other pic is of the underside of the airplane where the pitts exhaust tubes exit. With the cowl on it works (and looks) good.

I'll take a pic of the cowl cutout and post that another time.

This airplane fly's great. I've got another weekend worth of flights on it and it getting dialed in. Had troubles with the first flight and has been a pleasure ever since!

Scott.
