The guy is obviously an excellent fabricator but not a wit
of aerodynamic knowledge was used when designing
this intercooler layout. He needs to spend more time in the library
or subscribe to our newsletter. He is in for some rude surprises
when he gets this thing flying.

It is a shame because a lot of what is on this web site is good.

If you look at the exhaust pictures right at the bottom of the page, the way
the exhaust header wraps around the oil filter housing is going to need
heatshielding and a blast tube. The way the tubo is mounted between  the
alternator and firewall (with all the electrical components which will
likely be mounted here) is probably going to contribute to low MTBR's on his
electrical installation.

Sure is nice to see workmanship like that.

You read my mind Mark :-)

Isn't it a shame? A waste of a good fabricator :-)
