Stan, I plan to get that from tech welding....

Look under products & then cooling systems. He custom makes them with your measurements. Money first !
Brandon, barometer sensor, HUH. They are in the same loom as the MAFS wires. My MAFS is kindof high so I will probably weed those wires out & mount them lower.
Do you know where the small hose attaches to the manifold ?
BTW...That was a temporary mount job. The final mounting will be much nicer & I plan to paint the box red or black & slap a Harley decal on it. I am pretty happy with that location though.
Another thing.....I was only kidding about the prop clearance. I would never even crank that engine over with that clearance.
I explained this before but I'll say it again......I want to get most of the weight on the machine & do some hang tests. If I have to remake the cheek plates I will figure out how to get some more clearance there.
I know that this has nothing to do with hang tests but she was very balanced on the mains with this bigger engine. It would stay on the nosewheel if you pushed it down.
Now that the redrive guts & prop are on, she wants to rock right back on the tail.
I believe with the heavier engine , I will have to move the rotorhead back. That will give me a whole new geometry for the upper tail boom & rotorblade fit. The cheek plates that are on there now were made 1" taller than the originals. We made them from 3/16" plate. It may be possible to make them even taller.
Russ that mast is made of 3 2"x1"'s. I won't be "dropping in" another mast.
Vance, Thanks! At least you got to do some serious flying with yours before the rebuild. This is the second time I am building this one. The EA81 I put on it didn't have what it takes to push this beast. But that engine has a home on a KB2 frame. Nothing is going to waste!
One more thing.....I noticed that this IVO Magnum did not come with a locknut for the pitch adjuster. I have one on my ultralight IVO. I Image it should have come with one.
It must be HUGE !
I was just doing a sketch for the wiring as it pertains to my machine & locations. Don Parham sent one but it is at the garage. He shows an ammeter being used. I have a voltmeter but do I really need an ammeter?
Do you really need a fuel pressure gauge? Do they read pump pressure or the regulated pressure ?
Should I install a switch to turn on/off the primary pump that gets it's power from the computer?
The secondary fuel pump will have a switch & will be powered from my fusebox.
Don said I can use a tiny tach for an 8 cylinder....that would be a drop in replacement. Then what do I do with the tach lead from the puter ?
I'll need a check engine light......nobody pays attention to them anyway !
I won't need my carb temp guage on this machine anymore....so I need to fill that hole with something.
