Just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to getting this 13b

running.

I

have the stock cast iron exhaust manifold with a short pipe to clear

the

cowling, and I'm pleased that it was not as loud as I had expected.  I

guess

the cast iron absorbs some  of the engine pulses.  It certaintly

absorbs

the

heat. For those that noticed the missing heat shields....not to worry,

they

will be installed.  I have only ran it for a few minutes at a time, so

I

can

set up my MicroTech ECU and also to purge any air from the coolant

system,

but it sure runs smooth.  Glad I went with a rotary.  Thanks again for
everyone who answered all my questions....even the dumb questions.
sincerely,  Paul Conner

Hey Paul - Congratulations!!  Are you building a Cozy?
Where'd you get the 1 1/2" adapters for flex hose to your radiator and

water

pump??

 Hi, Joe....actually the airplane is an SQ2000 canard. Similar to a Cozy

or a Velocity. It has the gull-wing doors like the Velocity.
     The radiator hoses are -16 stainless steel braid over rubber hose.  The
fittings are standard Earl's fittings. (Both the hose fittings and the 90
degree -16 AN aluminum fittings that I had welded into the water pump
housing). They are available at several racing supply houses online.  Some
of them I ordered on line, and others I picked up at our local speed shop
because I was in a hurry and wanted them right away. Actually, the local
speed shop's prices weren't so bad, considering there were no shipping
charges.
     As far as the fittings on the radiator, when I ordered the radiator
from C&R Racing, I asked for male -16AN fittings and they were all welded in
when I received my radiator.  Hope this helps.  Paul Conner
