I have reached a mile stone of sorts. The aircraft is now out of its
cradle and sitting on its wheels (2 each) on the garage floor. I guess the
next best milestone is when the wheel comes off of the ground without me
using a jack to get it there.
Muffler question? The exhaust port on the 914 muffler is to have a sleeve
welded to it. The configuration of the muffler exhaust end is such that it
is slotted to give way to an external clamp. I was planning on cutting
this back to solid pipe before installing the supplied sleeve. Have
those who have gone before done this or is an installation of a longer
sleeve necessary for cowling clearance?
