Air Filter Mounting Location Selection

Obsolete: We are currently running without an air filter as it restricted engine RPM. Here you can see the new rectangular air filter by K&N where I think I can install it. The round filter won’t work, but I think we have a good shot with this one. We’ll see. New air filter

More on Engine Oil Cooling

It’s Deja Vu all over again. I swore that we wouldn’t fly with these soft aluminum tubes again, and here we are about to do it. So, a couple of things, we’ve studied carefully how you’re supposed to insure that your flares are good. Secondly, if we find that the larger hard tubing does give […]

I’m just now posting pictures of it, but here is out exhaust wrap. This seems to have helped our temperatures, but it’s hard to say for sure how much. Based on everything we’ve done, I’d say probably 10 degrees on our oil temperature. Exhaust wrap to keep from radiating heat to oil sump

NACA Vortex Generators

Here you can see where we’ve added a couple of vortex generators to each NACA to try and improve cooling to the engine. I also made tabs on my slip joints for the runners to allow us to tighten them down. NACA Vortex Generators

Rectangular Air Filter

Obsolete: We are currently running without an air filter as it restricted engine RPM. Bob and Jerry are pretty much responsible for this, so I won’t take credit. Bob made the mold for the glass and Jerry found a way to mount it to the engine mount with adel clamps. The duct run ends up pretty […]
