Subject: [FlyRotary] I'm exhausted
Greetings,
I had to send along a pic
of the new exhaust. I'm VERY pleased with the fit. I installed the
exhaust flanges with high temp RTV, and no gasket, so we'll see if Lynn is
playing a practical joke on us :-) There are a few heat shielding
chores to be done, mostly because the fit is so tight. I'm particularly
unenthused about having the exhaust right behind the oil
cooler...
I surveyed all the
plumbing today, and found that I need a few more fittings, so those will be
ordered Monday. Tomorrow, I move on to the EM-2 installation, and
re-working all the other general engine wiring. I'm off the next
two weeks, and I expect to have the engine running again by the end of the
coming week.
Cheers,
Rusty (flight

Looks great, Rusty.
You've come a ways on the
welding skills. Err... do I detect a missing motor mount tube in the
vicinity of the exhaust headers?. If I had a nickel for everytime my
motor mount got into the way of a design, I could buy a Renesis engine
{:>).
Hope to see you flying soon. Again. Be
interesting to see what you think of the performance with out the
tubo.
