Brief Description: Firewall Foward Section 2 Baffling Installation Fi
Sept 4th 2012
Spent most of the day at the hanger working on the engines air cooling baffling system. This spring 2012, I had already created most of the system in the Firewall Foward Section 2 but needed to installl, test fit and finish, test fit and correct errors and differences as necessary. I would say that I am 2/3 completed but need to hang the engine and install the Upper and Lower Cowl system to complete the install. For the most part the IO-540's Air Baffling system that was designed for the D4A5 engine fits the A1D5 engiine with very little or no out of the ordinary modifications.
Time about 8 hours.
