Default RE: Chip Hyde's Cap-X - Building & Flying

John,

A quick question regarding your CapX review. I noticed in your pictures that there is almost no clearance between the DA-50 carb inlet and the firewall. The DA-50 manual states that this clearance should be at least 1", or a hole should be drilled through the firewall that is bigger than the throat of the carb inlet to let the engine breath.

I would appreciate any comments you might have on this.

Thanks,
Rocky
