I have been thinking about reinforcing the
firewall of my Legacy so this discussion has been interesting. The reason
is to address two issues.
The first is flex caused by the canopy strut
pressure. The second is vibration observed during the CAFE
Foundation test of N199L. This vibration only occurs during a manifold
pressure/RPM combination that would not be used in normal
operation. I followed the logic that carbon fiber would offer
more strength for it's weight so it would be the obvious
choice. Now I am not so sure.
I don't want to introduce failure points at
worst or make the wrong choice of material and that still leaves the
design. I wanted to run this by Martin Holman or Carsten the next time I
saw them but this could be a good place to start. Ideas,
comments??
