Graeme,
CONGRATULATIONS! on the first flight of G-UMPY. You should be able to resolve
the plumbing issue and enjoy many hours flying your own Bird. I'll be at the
hanger later this morning and will see if I can get some pictures of my
down-pipe
for you.
Blue skies & tailwinds,

is too close to the exhaust. I'll need to move the raditor/air guide down
and back slightly and maybe use a silicone pipe or add insulation somehow.
Its a classic body with XS FWFD anyone else had this issue?
