Winter time is slow jumping but hard building.And if it rains during the summer it's not so bad because I can build.Your welcome to have a look in sept but so far after one year of work I have: all ribs done the tail section and a start on my 1928 A ford.I hope I can show more in sept may be a prop.Thanx all of you for the good spirit I'm going strong.MatthijsOn Jan 19, 2012, at 5:39 PM, Douwe Blumberg wrote:> Hey Matthijs!>> Scratch building an airplane from these plans is a monumental > achievement in my opinion.

BrianA very simple design consisting of two end caps radius to fit between the stackswith a wrap around forming the body of the heat muff. The inlet and outlet areoffset from each other.I will be away for a week or so but if someone would like actual dimensions ora simple sketch I can do that t a later date.Attached a more recent photo after I had the stacks and muff coated.--------Adrian MWinnipeg, MBCanadaRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/dsc0 ... ______Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:11:39 -0800 (PST)
