RE: GP Cap 232
Okay guys, the DL arrived today. School ended at 11:15 today and man was i excited. I called my friend on the robotics team and we met each other at the robotics workshop. The drill press really made the job easy. We got the spinner backplate and prop drilled and i cut the spinner cone with my dremel. Took alot of dremeling but finally got it to fit the big xoar prop. I drove over to ACE and grabbed some screws for the standoffs. I downloaded the DL template and drilled through. Went in without a problem. I got to say, mounting these gasser engines is 10 times easier than glow engines. It always took me forever to get all the holes lined up for glow engines but mounting the dl must have taken me 15minutes. I mounted the ignition were the manuel had it for the fuji engine. Now, what the heck is gap clearence for the spark plug? How is that set? What is the spring that comes with the spark plug? Really excited to get this plane airborn. I have taken more time on it than any other of my planes. Been very careful on everything and hopefully it will all pay off in the air.
Oh, forgot to add that i pinned the firewall. Really happy I did that after seening the engine in person.
