I can only speak for myself. Many years ago I joined others in forming a CAF
Sq. at Rialto Airport. Most of us were not warbird owners but we all had a
love of flying, WWII history & aircraft. Thanks to guys like Chuck Wentworth
I was able to get up close & personal with AT-6's, PT-19, TBM, F4F and lots
of "ordinary" guys. The skills & knowledge learned working on these old
birds paid off when I moved in next door to Gummi and helped in building
HRII N561FS. I now run our EAA chapters Young Eagles program and introduce
kids to wonderful world of flying and with our rivet classes to building.
But it all goes back to a few guys in CAF that let me get my hands dirty
working on their airplanes. Don't forget there are guys like me out there
that would join or help out if only asked. CAF keeps the dream alive just
like the EAA Chapters just on a larger scale. "Wannabie" yep that was and is
me alright and N561FS has flown lots of other "wanabie's" too and wouldn't
you know it several of them are now either builders and/or pilots. Next you
see a kid looking thru the fence at your airport wishing...., no praying,
for ride, look closer you may find his parents may looking too and they've
had the dream a lot longer. EAA & the CAF are full of "wanabies" and God
Bless them, for without them the "real" pilots of WWII would not be able to
"show & tell" at airshows with their grandkids about the good old days.
"Those who can DO, those who can't or won't, gripe about those who DO". To
me it's still the "Confederate Air Force".

I have noticed that when you run water over the cowl, it works it's way
down, into the intake snorkel, along the top (ceiling) of that until it ends
and then drips down. The angle of the airplane on the ground lands these
drips right into the intake Y valve that is on the front of the injector.
Concerns here:
How does the water get out of the injection/elbow?
Would a sniffle valve be a solution and if so, how should it be installed?
If this water were to freeze it could be a big problem. Best to plug the
intake if parked outside. How best to plug that?
Another thing that is bugging me. In the interest of getting maximum
cooling through the cylinder fins, it would seem that you would not want any
ram intake air to not go into the intake. It seems to me that the Y valve,
when open, allows some of the ram pressure to go out the filter into the
lower cowl. Also, any intake leak between the Y valve and the inlet snorkel
in the cowl would also allow high pressure in the lower cowl. This is a
hard spot to seal well without access. Any thoughts on this?
