Arash,
You are a true craftsman. That model is going to be awesome! I was thinking of you the other day, we were flying over KHAF on the way to KSFO. What a great place to fly Best of luck on your new project.

Dave,
You are more than welcome to try the one we made and see how it works on your bird. It made no difference on mine. Well, it did make more of a rumble on my floor boards but your mileage may differ.

You, are one lucky guy!! that's me, green with envy!!

Second vote for ECI. I put six new steel cylinders on a hundred and fifty hours ago, perfect compression and bore scope.

I just received my new exhaust system from AWI and I have to say that it looks top notch. I ordered new riser clamps as well. The two bolt style shown on the above picture. I had the old four bolt style. The question I have is why is there a tang on one side that keeps the two halves from coming com...

Charlie was and is a class act, I was glad to give his company some business and that was one heck of a donation to the association.

I used the vacuum method and it worked great! Thanks for the tip. No intake leaks to be found so I decided to put the shop vac on the exhaust, lo and behold leaks everywhere. I expected to fid some leaks around the clamps but I also found leaks around the flanges of four risers. My flanges were awfu...
