<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3" face="Calibri">I received a call from Ed today from Flite Metal. He helped me get in touch with Kelvin at Keleo Creations. This guy manufactures scale exhaust for aircraft. You can find them on the web at </font><font color="#800080" size="3" face="Calibri">http://www.keleo-creations.com/</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3" face="Calibri">He is going to manufacture a scale exhaust for the mustang and a scale intake manifold. I can take a Fuji 50 and turn it into a rear exhaust, rear intake engine. This gives me the opportunity to tuck the 50 inside the cowling.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3" face="Calibri">The exhaust stacks will have flex tubing to a custom made exhaust canister mounted to the engine.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3" face="Calibri">Ed also explained to me how to make an air induction duct to keep the engine cool with minimal weight that will also vent through the belly flaps just rear of the wing.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3" face="Calibri">I have included pictures for review.</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><font size="3" face="Calibri">This is becoming a lot of fun guys. I can&rsquo;t wait to get things rolling. </font></p>
