maukaonyx, the plane looks great. I really like what you did to the cowling and the exhaust. the biggest thing i found was making sure the air gets pulled over the head. It looks like it will be pretty close with the baffle and the hole where the extention is at plus the hole around the landing gear. Also your head is exposed where my 2 stroke is completely enclosed minus the pitts muffler exhaust tubes.

If you don't mind my opinion or suggestion actually. Get the plane going and only take it up for a lap and land. then feel the engine and prop hub. Initially mine was on fire within a few minutes. Fortunately it didn't burn my engine up. I put the hole in my cowling to pull the air over the head and it is cool as can be everytime I run it.

I can't wait to hear your report.
