Perry, could you ask him for some pictures of his installation so we
can avoid a similar result. If no scanner is available we can
scan them and send them back.

Kerry says Powersport will post a page with pictures on their website
http://www.powersportaviation.com.
Maybe Powersport can tell us on this list when it is available and

the URL.

Perry

What wall thickness and material did he build the exhaust with?
Too bad Kerry is not on the newsletter.

Paul Lamar

I invited him to join the list, but he says he's on the Velocity list
and already gets too much email.

Paul,
         Attached is a zipped file of the pics of the Velocity prior to
flight.  The exhaust was wrapped and it appears that a fuel pump is mounted
in the vacinity.

Thanks for the pictures Joe. The workmanship cosmetics are excellent but
that does not always solve all problems.

This is why I recommend putting the fuel system on the cold side.
Wrapping the exhaust is not a good idea on a rotary. You need
to cool those pipes and not make them hotter.
