Default RE: ASM Pitts Special

I just finished getting everything mounted. The Saito 180 is a tight fit but works without cutting the cowl. I also fitted a 32oz tank in mine. It took a little trimming but it is a good fit. That Saito drinks up a 24oz tank in about 10 minutes. I don't want to be doing a bunch of dead-stick landings with this plane.

Rev,

Have you needed to enlarge any of the holes for cooling? It seems like the exit is not very large. Also, did you do any additional covering around the firewall? It is all open to the inside of the fuse. I'm a little concerned about fuel getting in there.

Thanks, Terry
