Re: Ca 260 Build pictures
Looks good punk! You might want to add baffeling on the top of the cylinders too. Mine would cool a little better if I didn't have baffeling just on the bottom. Just a thought. Be sure and fuel proof all that wood too.

Re: Ca 260 Build pictures
it will have a deflector on the top of the cowl. hopefully it will help push the air over the cylinders and down into the can's.

Re: Ca 260 Build pictures
Im working on about 70 flights on mine and I absolutely Love its flight characteristics, such an easy plane to fly well. So far the only problem I have found is one of my ailerons in the morning bind a bit right on the inner edge, once it warms up it clears by a nats a... |

Re: Ca 260 Build pictures
That's a gorgeous color scheme, Darcy. I like them fairly simple and tasteful.

Re: Ca 260 Build pictures
Darcy,
Depends, man. I'm out of work, and if I am still out of work then I'll most likely go. But if I start a new job between now and then I doubt if I'll be able to get time off for it. Kind of a catch 22. At any rate, hope to see you there again this year. I know one thing, though. I sure wish I could bring as nice a plane as that CA 260 to fly. Maybe some day.
