So, how many people are interested in P Port activities such as boring
rotor housings and building slide throttle assemblies? Is there a group
buy
or a synergetic theme that makes this a good idea or does everyone wish to
pursue this at there own pace? Just thinking

I'm pursuing it - I finished boring rotor housings last weekend. Hopefully
I'll have tubes in and the slide throttle done by next week. If that all
goes well and the housings still look good - I'll order a complete rebuild
kit and put it all together the week after that.
Since the 13B in my airplane is waiting for a re-built exhaust system to
replace the one that cracked off - I've got time on my hands and figured I
go ahead and take a shot a rebuilding this second 13B into a P-Port.
Thanx,

Congratulations Joe. Since you are already flying and all
you need do is swap out the engine, I think you will be
the first true homebuilder to fly a p-port of your own build
since Everett Hatch. There are going to be a lot of
envious RV'ers your neck of the woods as you flash past
them in the sky.
It was easy wasn't it? Hey, got any pictures of the boring
process? Here are a few picturs of Joes airplane for the
new guys.
Where did the exhaust crack Joe?
