Well I can not believe how quiet the net is. I have been modifying my cowl to suit my engine air in takes, as my RG 2000 has a gear drive, the engine sits lower in the cowl and the cowl in lets are to high for a good direct flow, as well the inlets need to be low enough to have a ramp so the air can climb up hill to get to the barrels. This ramp allows a more direct and better cooling when the KR is in it's nose high climb configurations.
So I cut out the old in lets last night and glassed over them, now I have to cut out new in lets and flare and glass them. As my engine has twin Stromberg Carbs with the oil dampened slides, the carb oil level has to checked before each flight or the carb will NOT get full throttle. I cut three inspection hatches in the top of the cowl, 2 for the carbs and 1 for the oil dip stick. Then !!!!! hopefully the cowl can be painted, the barrel shrouds finished, and that will be it, all Finished, except for the C of A Photo Phil Matheson SAAA Ch. 20 VH-PKR Australia EMAIL: phillipmathe...@bigpond.com KR Web Page: www.philskr2.50megs.com http://www.vw-engines.com/
