    Just about 2 inches. That's why I decided to not put a spinner on it. The motor mounts are sitting on the firewall, so no way to improve on that without hacking up the motor dome.

    2-stroke oil,what works,what doesn't

    Why is it that threads like this never really die? If you feel like using 40 or 50 to one.... Go for it. DLE wouldn't warranty a failure anyway. Lots of people were getting out on this ice a few years ago and running 80 and 100 to 1 mixes. I think the big manufacturers finally put a stop to...

    Well, my new lower cowl showed up today... only took maybe 2 weeks to get here from Taiwan, and that was including painting. I wasn't expecting it for at least another month. The colors look like an exact match, and the lines are very close on one side and just barely off on the other. Makes...

    I had a CARF Extra 330sc with a DA200, and baffles that looked much like yours, but I also had a hood over the top of the cylinders. I thought the air would be forced across all cylinders and out behind them. As it turned out, there was so little airflow under the cylinders that beat from the...

    It does seem a shame to block off most of the cowl, just creating a wall of drag to overcome. Fortunately, there should be plenty of motor to accomplish that. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Its been a while... holidays, and just generally being lazy. I finally decided to get started on the baffling. My excuse for waiting was that I ordered a new lower cowl, and I was going to wait for it. So, I ordered one a few weeks ago from CARF, knowing that it would be at least a month...

    what do you use to pattern the replacement ribs, especially out near the end where each rib is a different size?

    I don't know about the weather... I don't think I've ever seen a Christmas season as warm as this year... but they say that the same El Nino that creates this will make February/March very cold and bad weather.... we'll see. As for the plane... I do want to get it out of mothballs and in the...

    I think I need a little more prop on it. It revs up super quick. I've got a 34x12 Mezjlik ordered for it, should be here next week. I like their props better then Biela anyway.

    Yes, it's raining, and it's 2 days before Christmas and I still have some last minute shopping to do... but I had to drag it out again for some reason. I ordered a new cowl, but I may just stick with the original... from above, you can't see the other holes that I cut for the other exhausts...

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    Agreed... It all depends on what you expect the AMA to accomplish on top of their stellar performance this far. If you think they will make some progress... Then wait. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

    Are you going to register with the FAA? Cast Your Vote!

    Here's my thoughts.... The club will probably require compliance The FAA has already released their opinion The AMA won't change that opinion, but they might combine registration processes I don't know how they plan to enforce, but I don't want to be "inspected" and found non compliant...
