 |
|
Hi all
I am installing the Airbox onto the Zodiac XL firewall. Since I don't have a Jab3300 engine yet and the installation paperwork said to line up the air exit level with the inlet to the Bing Carb I have a problem.
There are no firewall measurements in the paperwork to locate this airbox? I have the engine mount and can fit it between that on the RH side, but how far down from the horizontal stiffener? How exact does it have to be L/R up ?down from the carb? the DVD is not that clear on measurements.
Pete Is this something that could be added to the 601 FWF paperwork
Thanks
Chris.

If I were you, I'd wait to install the airbox until the engine is in
place. I know that when I installed my Jab 2200 in a Kitfox, there
was VERY little room to locate the airbox, and I ended up having a
limit of about 3 degrees of rotational movement to play with. You
might have more room on your plane than I did on mine, but the golden
rule is: mount all the big stuff first, then locate small items last
as room allows.

I'd leave it till you get the engine. I 'mounted' mine three times
before I was happy with it and the layout of the cables etc. It looks
sweet now but it's no where near where it started out. Not an XL
admittedly and that installation maybe more straight forward so
JMHOpinion.
Regards, Clive

It is, isn't it! Just remember, Mark, (at least according to the
words that I downloaded) it is ".....misfit, i" with a lower-case
"i". There must be some significance to the lower-case i...maybe to
diminish himself even further. You do know, don't you, that David
Gilmour, who co-wrote the song, owns a P-51 Mustang.....poor guy!
Wonder if he's learning to fly that baby?
I just looked at the words on "Echoes", one album that has the song
on it, and they use the upper-case "I" , so who's to say which is
right. The downloaded lyrics also has the words that I've never been
able to figure out...all the radio talking, etc....interesting.

I agree that you should wait. I have seen several arrangements for all the
stuff that goes on the firewall, but overall it is a tight fit. You will
need to place everything and then assess who it all works together. I'd
suggest not doing one item at a time. Attached is a picture of my air box
on the pilot's (left) side of the airplane during installation of the 3300.

Good idea, Chris. When building model airplanes, I was always taught
to always cut the longest or biggest pieces first, as you can always
make the little pieces out of the scrap. But if you cut the little
pieces first, you might not have enough big or long left over to make
the big pieces. Same analogy applies to installing things, as the
folks here suggested....big stuff first, then squeeze the little
things in the space left over.
