Does someone have a check list they can email me? I need one for my 

preflights and didn't want to start from scratch.



Thanks,

David

David  K., Does your titan exhast come very close to the ignition boxes?

If so how did you deal with it?

Also how and where did you mount the coolant overflow bottle?

David:



Those little black boxes cost 700.00 a piece to replace.



When I was running the Titan exhaust system I wrapped that area of the 

tube that was closest to the black box with fiberglass exhaust header 

wrap.  Secured both ends with hose clamps.



Did that fix work.  Reckon so.  Never had an ign problem.

Thanks John (exhast wrap). Maybe you could tell me how you mounted your 

coolant overflow bottle. Thanks for the gas can info also, I was allready to 

buy two 10's at $86 each and have some one weld a minor mod for them. 12 

gals. will do for now.

Vic:



Used a nalgene plastic bottle (the kind most little cafes use for 

mustard and catsup.  Welded up a little aluminum bracket with tabs to 

mount to the two 6mm taped holes in the back (opposite prop) of the 

gear box.  Used a couple tie wraps to secure the bottle to the 

bracket.

Hi Vic/John,



I just happen to have a picture that shows the bottle in question. Took the

picture in 2004 when John was at Octoberlite fly-in at Ronnie Smith's. Hope

it helps. 



P.S. Hope the picture is not too big for the dial-up folks. I've converted

to Hughes satellite service and things are much better and more expensive. 



Later,

John Cooley
