Exhaust pipe bellmouth fitted with high temp RTV as per skymaster instructions. I made some plywood adapters to fit the engine to the rails.

I decided to make the intake duct removable for easy access to equipment later.

I had to move the engine back to get the correct spacing between the engine nozzle and the exhaust pipe. here are some pictures of the installation.

Air bottles located in rear fuselage; I had to cut the lower fiberglass engine duct to clear the retracted main tires.

Hi Joe, I was told years ago by a Col. that a clean airplane flies better than a dirty one, and you know an officer is never wrong; so I make sure the paint is looking good and waxed before she’s cleared to fly.
