Scott, per William Winn's manual had made some reference to wrapping pipes can
promote rust or cause them to crack or something like that. Basically was getting
at that the wrap could age them I believe, maybe trap condensation. He said
he if he does wrap that he only secures the wrap with hose clamps to he can
more easily inspect them.

I like to see how you did it. Did you do full 12' nose skins?

I've been on a build hold waiting on me William Wynne built Corvair engine to arrive.
I got it and mounted it and here's a photo.
Now on to the cowling cowling, prop and nosebowl. All of which I already have on
the shelf.
For those of you who follow my website I'll get it updated in the next week or
so.

Oo, pretty.
Is that light blue the aircraft's overall color, or just making the engine
compartment look nice?

What's left after that?

Yes, William warned me about the wrap verbally and he was right once again as I
suspect it was the last straw. Since I started flying there have been a few
things I wanted to change. The exhaust was one of those items and I'm very
happy with my last iteration of the headers.
The other change was my intake system that I recently cleaned up and powder-coated.
Now if I can just find a way to change the weather to something more flyable.

You guys have tons of storms out there this week?
What's the idea behind wrapping pipes again anyway? And how did the moisture get
in there in the first place.

Yep!
Take a look at the log entries starting here:
http://mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=rlendon&project=113&category=0&log=27672&row=234
The only variance is the 1.75" should be 2.3" or 58mm. I had to remake it on the
left wing and learned a valuable lesson about moving to fast and jumping to
confusion. The second and third ones came out perfect and I figured out how
to place the 3/4" x 4' x 8' and 3/4" 4' x 4' all by myself without hurting myself.
I didn't get any pictures of the process because I was stooped over with
a sheet of MDF on my back.
