Got the new duct nearly finished. Just need
to pop rivet the hinge halves on it, sand some of the worst bumps off, paint it
and put it on. Then ready to go fly and try out the new duct and
engine. Took two days, to make the mold, fiberglass the outside and
contour the inside for that trumpet shape - it would have taken me two weeks 5
years ago - but still prefer metal {:>).
Now just have to whip up a combination filter
holder and Plenum and I'm done with mods for the summer (I think).
Tracy got the apex seals for analysis but just
headed out to Colorado like he had planned rather than postpone his trip to play
with the seals - just don't know about some folks {:>).
Sure makes me wonder why airline builders use all
of those expensive circuit breakers rather than cheap fuses - must be something
I'm missing. Fortunately, we have the right to make the choice that suits
our preferences (and pocket book).
