I am thinking through adding a .020" thick
stainless heat shield and cosmetic cover to the exhaust tunnels on my
IV-P. It seems it would be a good idea to mount this cover on some stand
offs leaving a .020" or so air gap between it and the fire blanket. I am
considering floxing in PEEK stand offs to minimize heat transfer into the
carbon skin. I always start second guessing myself. Is .020" thick enough?
If I have an air gap, is it going to vibrate on the stand offs and
crack? How far out onto the carbon area should the stainless go? I
am planning on keeping the tailpipe within 1.5" to 2.5" of the fuselage as it
angles back and exits. Comments?
