Pete's 3rd Twister

As promised here are some photos of Pete's Twisters - from the day I spent up there recently.

My proposed cowl inlet ring offered up to Pete's inlet - not too much difference here

Red lines indicate how my cowl will be shaped (open at the back on the sides)

Cowl exit - I think he's missing a trick with all that bodywork forward of the red line (the firewall) - it's not doing anything aerodynamically - but it is restricting his exit volume by quite a lot.

Safety stays for the wing pins - a nice idea - I will be doing the same.

Cavity for cockpit ventilation - again I will be doing the same.

NACA duct with hose in the end - leading to air vent cavity.

Pete and his 'bomb' - ferry drop tank. 25 litres capacity

Pete says it took him 300 hours to build this...

Fuel pump and auto electric and fuel connections. Tank can take Smoke oil too.
