has it right as usual; one note: the ES Medium pipe will fit fine in the Brio;
you won't need the short one. The Long will be too long. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Aeroslave
pipe is my current fave tho, and Lance and Gray give GREAT support for them. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I found
the need for extra cooling holes in the pipe enclosure to the tune of several
square inches of holes at the rear of each side of the pipe tunnel. WIthout
these holes the engine and and pipe would get WAYYY too hot. WIth them I've had
no problems. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Agree
about making sure the pipe floor is fuel proof. I put a layer of silkspan and
thinned epoxy on mine (Thanks, Ron L for that idea!) and have had no issues,
but the nomex as installed was REALLY full of pinholes. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Your
landing gear should have THREE bolts on each leg. My fuse came w/ TWO holes per
side, and it took about three sets of broken gear and some looking at others'
setups to figure out the extra needed hole. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I also
didn't like the dowel-type hold downs for canopy and cowl and went w/ 4-40
bolts / blind nuts for both - three in the cowl, four in the canopy. Keeps the
rattles at bay. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
