And your happy with the outcome. Lyndon

the lower coolant hoses very close to the exhaust. Which is the way to go. Heat shield the hoses with sleeves or wrap the exhaust pipes. Any experience of what works best ???

Lyndon

Great thanks a lot.

Lyndon

Thanks for that. Lock or plain washers ??.

Lyndon

Engine mount questions. I bought this Engine used and it came with a bracket mounted to the engine and then that screwed to the box. Eg they just put my used engine in the box the replacement engine came in. I have no info 're torque values or what bolts to use or washers or loctite etc. It came with four black set screws that look like what is used from pics I see in my manual. Any info would be great.

Thanks Lyndon

Yes I do. Makes sense. Engine is in. Feel like I'm making progress

Thanks.

Lyndon

My manual says to wire the nut on the front wheel axle. ??? Is that necessary as it has a nyloc on it ???

Lyndon

Thanks. I got marine fuel line from Reg. It looks like this maybe fire resistant from what they say on the net ???

Lyndon

I see some wanky blue fuel line in some of the threads. I do like it in the engine bay. Where does one get this stuff.

Lyndon

My friction block is way to small in diameter. Has anyone else found this. I'm not wanting to rush in and enlarge it ??? Lyndon

Thanks. Yep I have left the bottom angulars free of rivets on the end. Will fit counter sunk. My frame is sprung and the top is at least 30 mm away from the fire wall. Within reason the cabin and engine mount seem to mount on the top firewall where they like give or 10 mm. Be nice if this was pre drilled. I will have a go at it. Probably easier than it looks when I actually do it.

Thanks Lyndon

Yep the brackets under on the bottom. Holes line up in the pad ???. Is this the top center.

Thanks Lyndon

Engine mount. I'm about to fit it. Any tips on this. It's all a bit flexible as is the cabin frame that it mates to on the top. The manual says nothing about location in any detail ???. So is just a matter of fitting where it seems nice or is there a specific point where it needs to go. On the top of my fire wall I two little holes that seem to do nothing in the center ?? From what I can see these have nothing to with it or am wrong. Any guidance would be great. Thanks Lyndon

Like then asap as I want to get my plane off the bench onto it's wheels. It looks like I need a lot and there is not enough in the kit. The bench is taking up to much room and needs to go. I will call first thing Monday and they can overnight them. Thanks Lyndon

Anyone know where I can get some of these an03-5 bolts in Adelaide. Postage is very high on the net for a few dollars worth of bolts.

Lyndon

Is it a good idea to fit the control assembly at this stage before I get it on its wheels. I see there is some fuel stuff in here as well. I have it on its side so I can paint the underside so it's easy to access at the moment or is ok to do when it's on the wheels. Thanks Lyndon

Great thanks. I'm fitting the leg now. But of work getting it to fit so it moves up and down. I have the upper bearing correct I take it. The manual shows quite clearly the square plate on the bottom of the race and then again on top. I have it on the bottom.

Thanks Lyndon

I have bought the upgrade for the front leg. Does this replace the existing part on each side or added to the std ones ???

Thanks Lyndon

Holes in the wrong spot ???. Any suggestions rather than just redrill and has anyone had the same ??. As you can see the front leg is of set to the front. But have a row in the rear on the plastic Bush and the long angular but the plate that goes under the plastic Bush has these holes in the front ??? Thoughts ??

Thanks Lyndon

Sorry for putting it in the wrong place. Not the roof. The skin that goes under the two front bars from the cage. It covers the cabin leg room. I will post some pics when I get home. I take it from your comments I can assemble all the cabin and still have no issues bolting the wings on.

Thanks Lyndon

I think the load on those bolts is shear and the body washers would do very little of anything.

Lyndon

The manual shows fitting the cage. Then I find it hard to squeeze the top cabin skin in past the cage with out damage ???. Does anyone do it the other way around ???.

Secondly.

My plane will be stored for a time before going to an airfield for the wings to be attached. I would like to do as much as I can in my workshop before this. I see the manual shows some parts that can't be fitted before the wings. In reality what is the minimum I have to leave off to fit the wings. I do propose to pre paint all parts ??

Thanks Lyndon

Thanks

The bushes that move on the out riggers on the mixer. Should they be greased ???. Eg they operate the rods for the alerons etc.

Lyndon
