Prop control through the firewall

no7rosman · #1 03-13-2020, 08:24 PM

I am converting from FP to CS. Next step is running the prop control through the firewall.

Any suggestions on where to put the hole in my firewall on 9A?

I don?t have access to the plans right now but the one with the firewall has all the Vans recommended locations for firewall penetrations.

Mark is correct, consult your drawings. Van's hives you the precise location of the he hole.

Thank you. I am not the builder but do have the plans. Looking through them now trying to find it.

Found it. Thank you both.

I have an O-360F1A6 that I?ve been thinking of converting to CS. How difficult was it to make the necessary engine changes?

It's not terrible. Was planning on doing a write up about it. When I am done. It was a very good learning experience.

I've been working on it for two weeks (mostly weekends) and hoping to finish today. If I had to do it a second time pretty sure a weekend would be enough with all the right parts.

I look forward to reading about your experience. I?m still on the fence.

I?m also looking forward to that write-up. I want to do this upgrade at some point.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds good.

Here is some good reading if you haven't seen it yet.
