| Subject: | Re: HKS Exhaust Andy Style |
Wow Andy, now you have me REALLY interested in this style of exhaust. THANK YOU
for taking time to post these photos.
Have you flown the airplane in tis configuration? It looks like the engine is mounted
up on taller spacers, and then it also looks like tne engine mount plate
is on smaller spacers above the rubber mounts too. Do I have this correct? Do
you have pitch-down problems when you go to full throttle?
Looks like you have an external fuel filler on the port side of the fuselage. Nice
looking :)
Is the oil radiator mounted on top of the square cross tube (between the main spar
attach fittings)? Do you get enough cooling flow and good oil temps? That
location (leading edgeof the wing) is acyually in low pressure when the wing
is making lift.
I would VERY much like to learn more about your installation, it looks very clean.

| Subject: | Need some opinions on trailer brakes. |
I am going to build a light-weight trailer for my Firestar II. It won't be enclosed,
it will just be a small T-shaped, single axle trailer. Considering the total
weight including the plane (I haven't done the math yet, but I'm sure that
it would be well under 1000 lbs), I am undecided whether it should have its
own brakes or not. Under normal conditions my pickup truck brakes would be adequate
enough to stop it with no problems. My only concern is for that occational
sudden freeway screeching halt. I'd sure hate for my Firestar to be passing
me. Am I being paranoid? Any thoughts?

Years ago I built a trailer for my Maxair Hummer, which was Part 103 legal, so
probably lighter than a typical Firestar. It was a modified motorcycle trailer
with a MUCH longer tongue. Towed it with a VW bus. No trailer brakes, no braking
problems. Biggest problem is the turbulence when an 18 wheeler passes you.
