has good clearance everywhere.- That PVC mockup process really works gre

- I have decided against the extended fairing from the lower cowling unde
r the fuselage.- I may add it later after the plane is flying if I find t
hat cooling is not an issue.- =0A-=0AWith any luck I will finish the la
st of the fiberglass work on the cowling and-the windscreen by the end of
September or first of October.- Trying to complete glass before cool wea

Jerzy,=0A-=0ANo, I haven't done the first engine start yet and it will pr
obably be after the first of the year before I do.- My single objective r
ight now is to finish ALL glasswork before the temperature starts falling a
nd then do the prime and painting during the winter cool weather.=0A-=0AE
ach of the exhaust tubes have a ball joint in the system to allow some flex
ability.- I have a hangar point behind the collector and two on the firew
all.- Will be using flexable hanger straps with stainless clamps.- Vibr
ation should not be a problem but I have learned there are no guarantees.
