Post-xmas UCD3C assembly tips and customizations.
Well I would finally consider myself done with my UCD. I painted the canopy black and it looks great. I used great planes 1.4" striping tape to seal the seam between the canopy and the fuse. I used R56 glue instead of screws. Now I just wish the weather was better so I could break it in and fly it.
One thing I was still thinking about doing was was cutting a small hole in the bottom of the cowl to serve as an exit hole for the hose that connects to the nipple on the back of the crankcase. Right now I have it running under the rear side of the cowl exiting out the back toward the landing gear. I was thinking that by having it exit a hole in the cowl it out stay in place intead of flopping around. Has anyone else done this or is it even neccessary?
