    On to the cooling air exhaust. Cut 1" slits in the bottom of the cowl to the bend line, with the cowl weighted along the bend line, clamped scrap balsa to facilitate the bend. Used a heat gun set to 500f to soften the resin and form the lip. Held in position while the resin cooled. The...

    Finished the exhaust. I used 1/2" streamline copper fitting for the bends and 5/8" KS brass tube. The tube is .014" wall. Cut the ends of the fitting off so that the tube engages 1/16" to reduce weight. The "Y" pipe is connected to the rear section of exhaust with a silicon tube provided...

    All the linkage work is completed. Discovered that 5/8" KS tube slips right over the stock 15mm o.d. exhaust tubes. Silver brazed a "Y" fitting to collect both pipes into one. Plan to use 5/8" KS aluminum tube and three 1/2" streamline elbows to route the exhaust to the scale location which...

    Worked on the nose wheel a little today, cut the strut to length to eliminate interference with the carburetor, made a teflon ring to hold the strut in the bearing block, and drilled and tapped for the 8-32 control horn.

    Use two SP-RPM sensors, you need to change the channel on one and check a box in the telemetry screen that I forget what it is called. You could add more if you like, once they are found you can edit the name. $20 each, not bad...
