 |
|
I'm trying to install the FAB on my 7A. I have an XP 360 Carburetor engine. There doesn't seem to be enough clearance between the air box and the landing gear leg. In fact, if I just hold the filter element against the bottom plate there is only 1/2" gap between the element and the gear leg. This leg has got to flex a little when landing. I concerned that it will flex and hit the airbox. Anyone run into this and have a solution?

Heat it up with a heat gun a press into it with a pipe. It'll form a "dent" (intentionally) that will provide clearance. I don't have a nosedragger, but that's what I'd try first.
If that doesn't work, chop a hole into it where the nosegear leg interferes, and re-glass it so it won't! Get out the tools and make it work!!!
