Well, I have the engine installation completed, but am concerned about engine cooling. I blocked off the rightside inlet and the bottom scoop to try to direct air over the cylinder. I have a total of 3 times the inlet area for cooling exits from the slits in the side of the cowling. The firewall is fiberglassed on the outside, and triangle stocked on the inside. I also had to build the fuse up on the inside to enable the notching on the bottom for the stock muffler to be used. I did not want to run a pitts muffler again. The wing center section is glassed, and 5/32 music wire will be bent to replace the stock WM wire gear.
I also installed servo mounts in the fuse for dual elevator servo's. I hope to have it flying in a week or two. This has been a long ongoing project for me, since I put it aside all the time for my other planes.
What do you guys think of the factory recommended elevator and rudder linkages (pushrods)? Has anyone installed pull pull for the rudder? Any other tips would be appreciated.
