[SPAM] Re: OS 1.4 RX Header and Pipe installation in Focus II

[Mike Austin]

You'll like the header Bob, as far as the belly pan, I installed per instructions and there is a small buldge from the gear mount but hardly noticable. I chose not to cut on it since it didn't effect the installation. I'm in the process of moving but I'll send you a pic of the installation this weekend.

  Mike,

  I just ordered a Mueller header for my installation. Thanks for the advise.

  How did you install your belly pan?  Mine has intereference with the landing gear.  I read that some have cut holes in the pan to allow the bolts to protrude.   Do you have any pictures of your plane that you could share?

  Thanks,
  Bob

    Bob, I just finished a new Focus 2/wOS 140 and installed a Mueller header. If you want the exact size without fussing with bending a Macs, email him at the below. Same price as a Macs and it fits the first time. Actually it's a 3" rise if I'm not mistaken. Tell him what plane it's for and he will fix you up.

      I would like some advise for installing a header and pipe in a Focus II.  I have the OS 1.4 RX engine, the OS 72102100  Header and the OS T-6010 Tuned Silencer.  My problem is that the header has interference with the firewall. I don't really want to remove material from the firewall to gain clearance.  Is there another header that I could use?  My other question is if the OS Tuned Silencer is the best choice?  I also would like to know what the length should be if the tuned silencer is used.  I am planning to use an APC 17 X 13 prop and Magnum # 1  2 cycle fuel (approx 23% nitro).  All suggestions are welcome.
