Those the shroud attach to to the upper cowl to prevent it from moving , i do like that shroud will help in controling temps especial to...

    The wet sanding is really only if you have a lot of orange peel and thick edges and can live with the look of it .Too me it's a lot of extra look to get a super smooth paint appearance and if you haven't clear coated yet you can do it . I have found that when there is orange peel I have tended...

    Nice work on the clean paint lines ,looks good . I was thinking of using 3/32 plywood for the baffle for my engine with some support on the bottom cowl and around the each cylinder . The cost of the tape is well worth it when you calculate the time it would take to sand down the bleed and...

    3M makes the best tape for painting as long as the surface is clean and pressed down firmly you won't get any paint bleed . I love that blue it added a nice and rich look to the plane . Would thickness of ply wood did you use in creating the baffles around the engine. Just started setting up...

    Great job i like the two red on the canopy , now you need the word "experimental" on the bottom red of the canopy . Mount the Pilot and your there , you do work fast.

    Is this prop safe to use ?

    Not worth the risk of running , if it delaminates in air you stand a chance of shaking the engine loose and more damage .Not worth the risk , just scrape it .:sorry:

    Snoopy1 , makes sure you get a pair that you can reverse the twisting of the wire . You will need to spin the wire in both directions to properly fasten the wire to the bolts . Just look on youtube under lock wire and there are a few videos of how to wire various bolts like on Aerobatic...

    I still have a white bar of lubricant for the drill bits, I use it when drilling out rivets and old bolts that were ceased from corrosion. Just leftovers from my aviation maintenance days along with a bunch of old hardware pieces . Kyle sounds like a great guy, it was very thoughtful of him to...

    Your doing just like it's done on a really aircraft , are you .025 or .032 diameter wire . I guess using tap cutting oil won't be enough . I dont know for sure but maybe McMaster Carr has socket heads with safety wire , i have seen bolts on their site with safety hole through the head . But im...

    Where did you get those ignition mounts , i love how is floating above the bottom mount looks like a secraft type. I don't think it overkill putting the zip ties through the hole of the rubber grommet it's a secondary backup it if something breaks, makes sense to me. The sulluvian HD gold rod...
