Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

rtn9105..... IMO if you had no problems with the S 65, the 82 should do the same
as long as the carb. is at the same height...
Most don't have many problems. When I had the S100 in the 46, it had little problems,
but I did lower the tank somewhat.. Now when putting together "Do" # 2, and just
getting the S 82, I thought of lowering the tank, Then I thought about the upright
stock mount( well I installed the mount that way by mistake, then saw the height
change) and the S 82 sitting on the top of the mount inverted.. I did have to shave
a small bit of the mount about 1/16 to get the carb to fit between the mounting lugs,
but i wil have a better tank/carb relation than I did with the S 100, and it should tune
better, with less chance of flooding, and I can't see that hurting the mount.
On the cowl, I'm not going to install the cowl mounting blocks, instead I'll just screw
into fuse/firewall.. With or with out the cowl mounts, the cowl fits as it should.

Gary... I used your landing gear "Beef-up" block tip:-)..... Was easy and Works great!!
