Got a huge response of interest on this thing, called Ed and asked him what he wanted for it - $75 plus shipping. It was not damaged in the crash and is in good shape, it has hung on the hangar wall for the last 2 years so the windows need to be polished up with some plastic polish, but aside from that it is good to go. I hosed the pollen off and laid it out on the deck to take these pictures of it - what you see is what you get.

I have an extra one as well. A point of interest concerning the rear enclosure, mine cut my cruise by 2-4 MPH. I also have a Silencer for a single carb 447. It took the whine out of the engine and mellowed the sound by a noticeable amount. You will have to change jets however. That should save a bit of gas as well.

That is interesting. The reason I was thinking of enclosing the rear that it may increase the cruise speed. I was thinking it would streamline it more. Guess not.

That is a good price.
It cost more than that a few years back just to get them made.
Brian just did a complete build for Japan and he did a full cabin enclosure
with 060 Lexan. It looked awesome.
He will upload to youtube soon.

Yes it does, that is why when we had it on N582EF the first time around, we made some lexan fairings to fair the aft side of the enclosure in and clean it up. They made a big difference. Pictures and explanation here:

Larry, I've got some questions for ya. Can I get my hands on your enclosure? Are you going to make MV? Heck, when is it? How much does your Firestar weigh? I've got a good install for the HKS, but I keep adding things to make it lighter! Hope to see ya at MV Thanks Bob Dresden

Yes you can get my enclosure, I'll drag it out and dust it off to make sure it is still OK. No, I won't be at MV this year. John and some of the others are flying up here the first of June, and I have a bunch of stuff to do before they get here. I am not sure how many if any will be there this year. Last year was a bust, I haven't heard anything about it this year. Its worth doing even if you are there by your self. You could just come on up here to Oregon with the rest of them.
I think, ( don't have scales that I can trust) that the Firestar comes in at about 460 lbs. You might consider attaching some VG's to the sides of the enclosure to send the airflow on a better path, thus providing cleaner air flow through the oil cooler and the prop. If you make them out of Lexan, you should be able to use Shoe Goo and glue them to the edges of the enclosure.
