Default RE: Building a Phil Kraft Kwik-Fli Mark III
(original date: 2008-02-18)

In the mean while I bought a second hand engine. An OS Max 50SX. I turns out the, opposed to my OS Max 46 AX, the needle is fixed to the back plate of the engine. On my 46 AX it is removable.

In the original thread several suggestions were made to remedy this situation. Such as:
[ul][*] Buying a backplate from the 50-SXH without the needle[*] Changing the firewall to accomodate the needle[*] Don't use the 50SX in the Kwik-Fli, but the 46 AX.[*] Just remove the needle from the backlate.
[/ul]

In the end I just removed the needle from the backplate.
