 |
|
After 16 years with the 912UL engine in a Classic monowheel, I changed the undercarriage to tricycle. But the rolling resistance is much greater, particularly on grass, so I've bought a 912S to help me get into the air more easily.
My intention is to fit the replacement engine into the existing arrangements and to use the same old-style stainless steel exhaust system, which dangles at an angle rearwards beneath the engine.
This exhaust has served me well enough over 16 years, apart from a couple of fractures of the flange bolted to the left rear cylinder. My question to anyone with experience similar to mine, or anyone who's heard from others, is "Am I likely to have a severe increase in exhaust cracking problems?"

I would think that existing cracks in the exhaust are an immediate
airworthiness issue. If the geometry is the same, then the rate of cracking should be the same. The key is to try to ensure that the exhaust is well
fixed in position and not walking around with vibration
