I'll have to make a video sometime. It's pretty easy. I recommend laying on the ground under the gear leg. The goal is to get the pin through the first two loops then you are home free. I put the top pin in first. Just squeeze them together and you may need to "roll" the taco shell a littl...
Next up we need the fairing/mount in the tail. We have printed a male mold. The fairing will sort of be a cone shape, but stretched along the trailing edge where the screw holes are. After we make the cone, we will hack up the tip and bond it in.

Do all the cylinders hit peak EGT around the same time when you pull it back from full rich? Definitely not. Th...
