Hello Legacy Builders & Flyers,

 

It looks like there’s no better way to finish off the cowling/fuselage engine exhaust tunnels than to use polished stainless steel pieces that cover the thermal blanket and transition from firewall to fuselage bottom.  Yet, there’s no ready source of these quality parts for the Legacy community.  Though, there are some excellent professional builders that provide them as an exclusive feature of their service.  Here’s a photo of a set on Don Barnes’ airplane under construction in case there’s any confusion about what I’m talking about:

We’ve found a source that can produce these stainless steel exhaust tunnel shields (for lack of a better name) for the Legacy. The minimum production run required to achieve a reasonable price point is about 12 airplane sets (left and right sides) at about $800/set. 

 

The manufacturer does not want to deal with marketing, advertising, accounts receivable, customer support, etc.   So, since I need a set myself, I’m checking to see if there’s enough interest out there to have a production run made for a group of us.  If so, I can just use my existing Starflight website to handle info, orders, payments, etc. for everyone (http://www.starflight.aero/legacy).  I’d guess even those with finished Legacy’s might be interested since it looks like an easy retrofit installation. 

 

If you’re interested in purchasing a set of these premium, polished stainless steel exhaust tunnel shields, please let me know at:
