Hi Robert, What I'm doing is NOT to plans. I do not recommend it. It was more difficult to build and I did not get the weight savings I was hoping for. I did get some benefits, and for me they were worth it. My plane will also have "swiss style mufflers", and a 3/16 plexiglass bubble canopy, and some real dense sound deadening material at the firewall. What I'm going for is ......quiet.
