The Hi Top mod is achieved by jacking up the front of the fuselage top moulding
and inserting wedges of reinforcement either side prior to bonding the top in
place. You can see this on the attached picture of one I did earlier.
>From this you can see that it is only realistically possible to do this during
the build. From the phrasing of you post, Im assuming that your top fuselage
has already been bonded to the canoe (bottom moulding) in which case your options
are limited.
Hope that helps

Thanks Bob
Took a little bit longer to purge the system with the thermostat in line (easily
100 rotations of the prop) before I saw oil coming through the return line and
oil pressure on the gauge but sorted now.
Might be of interest to the group as well but we replaced the mechanical fuel pump
with the newer rotax one, Ive seen people saying theres been issues with them
not fitting, ours was close but it does fit without touching !
Kind Regards

by pass to allow hot oil to begin to heat the THERMOSTAT for it to begin to
work and allow more hot oil through. Unfortunately the process of purging the
oil cooler matrix will take longer since a considerable amount of oil/air will
need to pass through the small orifice.

that the cap seals are undamaged and appropriate poundage.)

to push the air out of the oil cooler but it surprised me how long the process
took to get the air to gurgle through back to the tank whilst turning the
prop. .... and that was after motoring (ignitions OFF ) with an ignition plug
removed from each cylinder on the starter . But there was no doubt the air was
removed by one hell of a gurgle !!!!
