 Subject: [FlyRotary] rev-2, evap cores everywhere

Greetings,
 
I couldn't resist sending a picture of the evap core cluster.  And, yes, there are all inside the stock RV-3 cowl.  The biggest physical hurdle remaining is the intake.  I should have David's intake on Tuesday, and hopefully, that will all fall into place. 
 
Cheers,
Rusty (gotta make an oil scoop this week)
 
 

 Looks great, Rusty.  Very close to my arrangement other than the oil cooler being different.   I found the easiest way to shape the oil scoop was to put the cowl on the aircraft and then to strap foam board (Homedepot, etc) to the bottom.  Took a rough rasp and quickly worked into the general shape I wanted.  Removed the foam and laid the fiberglass over it (will need to protect the foam) and when set, trimed the edges and straped back on the cowl.  Marked where the parts met and then sanded the Gell aways on that line and a couple of inches each side.  Then fiberglassed it to the cowl.
