I'm trying to install the FAB on my 7A. I have an XP 360 Carburetor engine.
There doesn't seem to be enough clearance between the air box and the landing
gear leg. In fact, if I just hold the filter element against the bottom plate
there is only 1/2" gap between the element and the gear leg. This leg has got
to flex a little when landing. I concerned that it will flex and hit the
airbox. Anyone run into this and have a solution?

Heat it up with a heat gun a press into it with a pipe. It'll form a "dent" (intentionally)
that will provide clearance. I don't have a nosedragger, but that's
what I'd try first.
If that doesn't work, chop a hole into it where the nosegear leg interferes, and
re-glass it so it won't! Get out the tools and make it work!!!

Hi all!
Thanks for the inputs on the new wing tip landing lights! I'll go for the LE landing
lights then.
I've another one for you:
In addition to the cabin heat, I also need a way to send warm air to the windshield,
in other words a defrost system.
I was thinking that maybe I could mount an "Y" coupling on the hose supplying cabin
heat and route warm air from the "Y" intersection to the windshield, if I
cut out some long slots in the area just below the windshield. (almost like a
car)
How has other builders living in cold areas solved this?
While I'm at it:
I saw that there's some "hatches" for extra fresh air that can be installed in
the forward portion of the fuselage which can be used on warm days.
Anyone have any experience with this?
Is the fresh air intakes which comes with the kit inadequate?
Here I'm asking RV-operaters who's flying in weather conditions like Norway: summer
temps mostly around 20-25 degrees celcius (approx 65-75 fahrenheit)
Best regards Alf Olav Frog / Norway

I used a small computer type fan mounted to the louvered cabin heat panel.
Not flying yet so I don't know how well it will work. I used round aluminum
flanges at both ends of the SCAT duct.
