| Subject: | Re: Sky Scout fuselage |
Rick,
I've only seen the FGM version of the Sky Scout plans, so this is only speculation,
but I doubt that the other version is drawn to suit the lighter Continental
engines. I bet the plans he got from the Pietenpol family were drawn before
the Continental engines were even built. My guess is that the differences are
akin to the difference between the FGM version and the Orrin Hoopman version
of the Air Camper plans. The Hoopman plans are identified as the "improved"
Air Camper, which gives a little bit more room for pilot and passenger. I would
suggest checking the dates on both sets of plans, and go with the later version
(most likely the plans from the Pietenpol family).

Rick,
It appears we are at a similar phase. I too, have just completed my nose bowl
and have been fitting cardboard patterns to it the last few sessions in the hanger.
I built in flanges on my sheet steel firewall, so I will try to use that
as my attachment system. I may have to add the angle tabs as backups. I am
not satisfied with my placement of the intake on the nose bowl so I am considering
a mod that will use a framed opening to cover the one I molded in. Purely
and aesthetic thing. I am attaching a couple of images that show my work to
date. Also an image that shows my intended change to the intake. I plan to
make the intake functional, but will need to route the flow back to the carb
via a scat tube arrangement TBD. I was fortunate to be able to stop off at Han's
home and discuss his build. I am also attaching an image I took while there...
I'm sure Hans won't mind. Feel free to contact me off line if you would
like to expand on any facet of this subject and I will do the same. I would
like to see pics of your progress... thanks in advance.

| Subject: | Oil Temp & Pressure Gages |
Guys,
I'm collecting stuff for my engine, and I would like input on the type of gages
to add for Oil Temp & Pressure. I've seen many panels using the tubing type
gages, but not many (or any?) using electrical gages with senders. Since I will
have a full electrical system, I can use either. There have heard some horror
stories about having a leak in the cockpit, and that's one concern with the
tubing type, and maybe the weight factor is something else to consider...
Not sure which to go for... So, let your voices be heard. What are the experiences
ya'll have had with gages?

Tom, I have an old oil/water gauge that reads between 32 and 212 F. Ilove
it because it shows lower temps in cool wx so I know how the warming up is
going. Many new aircraft have gauges that start at 160F. This is stupid.
On aircooled/open cowled engines you may never see the needle come off the
peg until you are in climb or cruise on a warm day! Brad Williams NX29NX

Very nice looking job Robert. I was going to do my nosebowl in
fiberglass, but I thought it would be easier in aluminum. Yours is quite
impressive. I'm getting ready to cut patterns tomorrow. I will post some
