Steve Brooks -----Original Message----- From: Rotary motors in aircraft [mailto:flyrotary@lancaironline.net]On Behalf Of Russell Duffy Sent: Sunday, May 23, 2004 10:37 PM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] Rusty's 3rd intake progress Greetings all, Attached are a few pics of where I stand on intake #3. I'm quite happy with the fit, and hope I don't screw it all up with the TIG welder. The inside is actually a better shape than what you see on the outside, and while it's not perfect, I'm quite happy with it. On a scale of 1-10, where 10 is a perfectly smooth shape, the inside is probably an 8 now, where it was maybe a 3 before. In the pic, you can see the injector holes that I bored in the bosses on the secondary runner. Amazingly, the stock primary fuel rail even fits under the intake! The old steel rails that I had fit, but have one of the hoses in the way. The aluminum rail that Kelly sent (thanks again), has banjo fittings that can be rotated. I didn't have it at the hanger with me today, but I'm sure it will fit as is. This is really an unexpected bonus. I'm still hopeful of a ground run next weekend, and flight the weekend after. Cheers, Rusty (don't make me deploy the secret weapon, though I confirmed that it will fit ) ------=_NextPart_000_0022_01C4415D.5A325AF0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Message
