Sounds great! Keep us updated.

Like Keith was saying, the fuselage takes up a lot more space than the wings on a storage structure. I was building in my basement and could not have built the fuselage before the wings due to space considerations.

Regarding the electrical output, I always turn OFF my secondary ignition once I'm a couple thousand feed above ground. It's not needed to run the aircraft if the primary magnetos are working. The coils of the secondary ignition require power, so turning them off allows the battery to fully charge, a...

I would have to say THAT is why you are running hot. This is the the standard Revmaster shrouding, it wraps around the barrels and heads...

As others have suggested, you can run it to get it warm and see if it improves. Check the rocker arm clearances to make sure a valve isn't being held open. Is the air escaping through the carb (intake valve) or the exhaust pipe (exhaust valve)? If you have a borescope you can have a look at the valv...
