I'm a new kid on the 13 B block--getting a lot out of the Linux powered
conference.
My 13 B with stock turbo is going (hopefully) to fly a Coot.
Since the engine will be on a pylon and the prop will be pushing I have
room for whatever configuration seems good.
For a reduction drive I'd like to have a 9 or 10 inch offset. Any
advice? A trustworthy supplier?
On the turbo I'm thinking of leaving the waste gate valve controlled
automatically as in car use and making the switching actuator cockpit
controllable by connecting the wires of the solenoid valve to a switch
in the cockpit and leaving the vacuum tubes as set up in the car. Any
advice?
Thanks.
