RE: Calypso Build
I'm done....just haven't got the pictures up yet. I got it covered and ready to fly with the Tower 75 and I waited and waited for my header from Macs. Finally I gave up and cobbled up a workable piece out of one designed for an OS SF 61. Then I had so much trouble getting the motor to idle and transition that I gave up on it. A lot of guys have had great results with this engine but the carburetor seems to be a common problem. Mine is still way fat with the low end needle all the way in. The advice is to contact Tower and they'll supply a new carb...problem is they don't have any. They've been back-ordered for months. So I acquired a YS 60 FS on the auction site. I have 3 FR's and love them so this was a no brainer for me. However it did put me back in the header-hunt game. Thankfully though, Macs had the one I needed in stock and it only took 2 WEEKS to send it to me. Anyway, maiden is soon and I'll get some pictures up.
P.s. - If you haven't started yet I would love to borrow your cowl to make an impression of the right side. I have a much bigger hole than I need from the Tower 75 and would love to mold a patch. I would pay shipping both ways and guaranteed you'd have it back in a week absolutely unhurt.
