Badland Part 103 Pilots and Builders Forum

The time has finally come for an F2 update. I "stole" a new to me engine from another forum member. (Thanks Allen!)

Thankfully it was a package deal because his adapter was slightly different for the one I had for the Polini Thor 200. As a result hanging the engine went much more smoothly.
After reluctantly drilling some holes in my firewall I managed to mount the radiator as well as all of the electronics.
The battery has been mounted between the rudder pedals and the cables run through the firewall.
I am hoping the expansion tank is high enough. As mentioned, if I bleed the system properly, it likely shouldn't be an issue. I am several steps closer to being able to fire her up!
Let me know your thoughts, concerns, etc.

Looks great. The tank looks high enough where the pump should be able to purge any air from the water jacket.

I just ordered a second bleeder to install on the second coolant line to the head. As mentioned, I need to be able to purge all of the air in the line. I hope to have it some time this week.

In the meantime, I still need to finish some of the routing of sensor lines and get the tach set up. It's starting to look like something!
