Hi All,



After searching the manuals, I cannot seem to locate any stipulations  

or recommendations on clearance for the tail pipe from the fiberglass  

as it penetrates the cowl.



Could I get some idea of what clearances seem to be adequate from  

those of you who are already flying?



Thanks,



Fred

As am example, I have 1/4" on my Citabria exhaust pipe to fiberglass cowling.

Hi Fred

I think mine has a good half inch or more all the way round. Some of the 

Rotax installations seem to shake quite a bit on startup and shutdown, so 

clearance is needed. How about that engine of yours?

Hi Fred,

   Clearence needs to be 1 BST [ British Standard Thumb] one inch at least, anything less will get the paint scorched.
