On my Mark III, the draft comes from the tube air coming forward to fill the vacuum caused by the nose cone.  I just wear a hood.

On my Mark III, the draft comes from the tube air coming forward to fill the

vacuum caused by the nose cone.  I just wear a hood.

On my mkIII  I found some 1 inch foam rubber...  cut it to fit the area

behind the seats,,,  then used some contact cement and glued on some fabric

to match the color of the paint....  



1  it stops the wind

2  it stops a lot of the noise	

3  it looks good

4  it keeps things from view if I have anything stored back there.

5  it is removable in a few seconds if needed. 

6  it weighs very little compared to the benefits.

The draft can be stopped easily by cutting a7inch circle out of 4in foam rubber on a band saw,and cutting appropriate slots for the cables and stuffing it in the tube at the rear end.My highly modified exhaust system on the Mk3w/jabiru was gassing me until that modification.

-speaking of the cables in the big pipe;  it occurs to me that I haven't done an inspection yet of thespot where they intersect.  I remember when I hooked them up, trying to figure a way to avoid

the situation.  I consider it to be the weakest point in the MkIII design even if it never causes any

problem.  I did think about using a piece of clear vinyl tubing sleeve but the cable ends were on by

then and I wanted to go flying.

 Used some plastic brake line tubing.  Cut a  length and placed on one cable to act as a chafe guard.

Since the cable ends are already in place     Find two 1 inch pieces  of ½ inch pex tubing. Silicone together, wrap  with safety wire,  when you glue them together hold them at the correct crossing angle.  When slid onto the cables they will find there own location where the cables cross.  The cables should never bind, as the fitting is not anchored to either cable.

I considered the foam in the rear,,,,,  but was concerned about what would happen to the cables if the foam got moisture in it….  So I cut a piece of covering fabric and glued it in the end of the tail boom…  cut slits in it to pass the cable through..  the foam behind my head eliminated a lot of noise,,,  that addition created comments like “ your radio has never sounded better”   besides that I can hear better.
