I am currently re-doing my baffle kit on my O-360 RV-8.
I am not THE builder, I am not A builder (yet). . .
I have been through significant portions of the skill set required to build, but have yet to check off the completion. Thus the learning continues.
A significant amount of my learning to date was on the -14 and much of that was done at Synergy. IMO, the -14 is a much different task/skill set than this project. More fab work, and more adaptation to my specific engine/cowl setup.
Working through the baffle kit has been fun, yet frustrating at the same time. Fortunately, I have a knowledgeable and very experienced support staff here.
I am getting there, but suffice it to say I should have just ordered two kits originally, then I wouldn't have had to experience shipping delays on replacement parts.
I am at the point to start making the CB-702J Conical Gusset's for the intake ramps. On my set up this looks to be a very small area, much smaller than the plans would indicate. Once I install the rubber seal around the inlet, I don't see much space for the gusset. I am wondering, is this feature needed/required? My original baffling didn't have anything like that, and others I have seen do not have them.
Those that have used this kit have any input/guidance on proceeding with or without these fabricated components of the kit?
Thanks!
