Well there ya go Mark…….. just the person I need to
talk to.
I’m still building my canard aircraft. I just came up out
of the basement/shop after putting in another 4 hours on my split canopy frame
plug. I should have my mold layup complete this weekend and a CF version of the
frame by the end of Turkey Day weekend.
My power plant of choice is a 20B P-Port. I have the PSRU from
Tracy and an engine mount from the Cozy Girrrls.
I’m tracking the two big issues on my mind as I work
towards the engine part of the project.
Intake and Exhaust.
I really like the cool side intake design. Is anyone fabricating
this for a 20B or is it a DIY project.
As far as exhaust, I find the fish tail design interesting. I
wonder if the exhaust was split out into a flat wide pattern projecting the
sound into several directions at once if it would dissipate the sound waves enough
to result in a quieter result ………. Or maybe just annoy more
people at the same time.
I’m hoping to be addressing this in the spring.

Thomas,
Some of us are still hanging around reading/sending emails
(when we should be working). Maybe there are a bunch of us that don't
have time to email because we're hard at work on our projects. Could
happen.
Personally, I've been making some mods to my cooling system
by changing from two coolers in series to two parallel loops. It required
some additional AN fittings, so I am waiting for my order from Earl's.
Also, in my spare time, I'm working on building up a new
p-port 20B, including a new tangential muffler and slide throttle. Lots
of irons in the fire right now. Received my new apex seals today... waiting for
the TES o-rings from Creavey Seal.
