- Revflow carburetor 'rig'
Baffle for the GPASC 2180 ready to be anodyzed.
First step for RR canopy assembling: making a wooden support.
RR canopy frame
Rollover bow is honeycomb
(I just added two ¼" plywood rails to the bottom sides)
Plexiglass canopy glassed to its frame.
I installed the RR sling seat , but when I saw Mark Langford's seat on his Web:

I liked it, and made one for myself too.
Test fitting the left seat rails.
GPASC five points engine mount freshly painted and bolted to the complete firewall (Fiberfrax and SS sheet)
The engine mount need a 2" extension to avoid that exhaust tubes touch the noseleg.
I wonder what will happen to the GC!
Time to learn how the the crimping tools work. (And the soldering iron too).
After a lot of thinking, I choose to have a removable tank: it has been floxed and glassed to the forward deck, with piano inges on the sides, and bolts fore and aft.
RR tank location details: brackets glassed to rear side will be bolted to the traverse.
Battery box being built with some aluminum pieces saved from the baffle discarded parts. (By the way: riveting is quite amusing, maybe in my future there is an RV!)
Test fitting the Rand-Robinson engine cowling: soon I discovered that the oil cooler is in contact with it. My fix is to make a couple of blisters, although this will spoil the nice shape of the cowling.
Another year has passed through: now here we are!
