Bruce,
Don't tell me I've got to remake the engine mount angles in 063 ! - All
those hours mining the ore etc etc.
Both my sets of drawings (printed 1973 and 1984) have .050. Are the new
ready-made ones .063 ?
Paser did wonders with his M-II, but I think my -3 with an 0-320 and perhaps
PR wheel pants will be 'adequate' esp. in UK, where the distances are short.
Always happy to save fuel money though, so may put some effort into details
to keep drag down.
Thinking about a flat-wrap windscreen, mainly for aesthetics, but may also
spread out and reduce any high-pressure area at the bottom centre of the
standard bubble, at the cost of distortion in the landing flare. Doesn't
obey the KISS principle though.
Bob
