| Subject: | Clearance between cowling and exhaust pipe |
The 'tunnel' sounds a good idea which I'll fit. Thanks.
Next question, how long should I make the end on the exhaust that comes
out of the cowling? Currently it's 10" out of the bottom of the cowling
which puts the tail pipe 6.5 inches clear of the fuselage belly. I
figure I can trim some off, after flying my Jabiru with hot feet for 10
years I'd like to avoid that but minimise the protuberance (big
word...).
Thanks again guys, Regards, Clive

Clive,
I would also recommend 1/4" as Nick suggested. Remember the engine
will actually move around a little in flight as you pull Gs. Those
rubber shock mounts really help to reduce any major vibrations from
being transmitted to the fuselage, but they do allow the engine to move
around some - as they were designed to do. The exhaust tunnel that Nick
mentioned really does look nice and gives a great finished look. Might
even add at least 50 knots. ;-) Buz

Stay cool, Linda
Linda,
Nick and I met the Evolution team last weekend at Winder (WDR). Interesting
story - the Evolution had a wheels up landing at WDR during a demo flight.
A factory crew came in and repaired in days.
Gear up is a problem we don't have.

Hi Earl,
I knew one of the planes had to be yours; the other was a mystery
that is now solved! Thanks for the story on the Evolution; besides the
retractable gear, their high price tag is also a problem we don't have!
Linda

| Subject: | Max length on oil cooler feed hoses |
Well my plan to fit the cooler up front seems doomed to failure so It
will need to go on the firewall ala Lightning, thing is my battery is
already in the way for the pilots side mount.
So, does any one know what length I can make the hoses? To fit my cooler
on the other side and they'll be 1.1 metres or 3.6 feet each way, lots
of extra cooling but what about the flow business?
Any idea of max length, AN6 fittings and hose and the donut bored out
with 1/4 npt fittings?
Regards, Clive

Clive,
In the long run, I think you would be better off moving the battery to
the co-pilot's side (the way Esqual should have designed it to start with
- but don't get me started on all the things Esqual should have done
differently). By moving the heavy battery to the co-pilot side you now have the
heaviest weight on the side of the aircraft that is usually un-occupied
(when you fly solo) and by putting the oil cooler on the pilot side the oil
cooler lines can be much shorter. That is one key to a successful oil
cooling set up. Also where possible avoid 90 degree fittings to the cooler to
help with oil flow. 45 degree fittings are better and straight fittings even
better, but not always possible. Any way, the extra work at this time
will result in a more successful set up. My $.02 worth.
Blue Skies,
Buz

Hi Mark:
How is your 601 coming? I don't know if you heard, but I have had to put my
Lightning up for sale. They cut back my work about 50% and I can't afford
to keep it. I am having Ryan sell it for me and will be looking for
something a little more affordable to build.
I forget what engine you have on your 601?
Hope all is going well with you?
