All,

   

     My name is Ryan Hendrickson and I have an RV-8 running a Powersport firewall forward setup out here in Utah.  I purchased the plane from the builder and a mentor of mine shortly before he went west.  So unfortunately, I don't have the benefit of his knowledge to help me tinker on it.  Finn has offered some guidance, but I thought it would be also helpful to find anyone else out there running the Powersport design. 

    The motor runs very well, but I am struggling to keep it cool.  If I succeed it solving the cooling issues, I would also love some advice on building an exhaust.  It is currently straight-piped off the header and it is unbearably loud.  That said, are there any Powersport aircraft out there that are successfully flying?

Thanks in Advance,

Ryan
