Exhaust

The kit exhaust pipes are longer than needed. They rest at an angle and I thought it’d look good to have them parallel with the fuselage, yet sticking out a bit to make sure the exhaust exits cleanly. The cut line was a bit tricky to get right, and then cutting with the grinding wheel was an experience that reminded me of the Orange County Choppers show where they fabricated choppers.

Firewall

To the firewall I added the ignitions, oil separator, and battery (exact location still pending). There’s still a few things to add but there should be plenty of room.

Baffles

After hiking this morning with Angelique, I had a bit of energy the afternoon to get started on the baffles for the engine. Sonex provided a laser cut kit, but the fit is rough there’s plenty of modifications to be made. These baffles feel a bit hackish.
