Hi! Paul
No specific temperatures but due to a minor conflict with the vac pump I
used I had to apply heat to the plenum/hood and it responds to
temperature and allows a deformation so IMHO it is still standard resin
and fiberglass.
I am catching air aft of oil cooler and radiator with adequate heat (not
as hot as I used to get from the Jabiru oil Cooler but comfortable.

<paul.the.aviator@gmail.com>
Hi all,
I was looking at a Rotax installation in a Diamond Kintana the other
day and I noticed that they have manufactured a fiberglass plenum air
duct to drive the airflow over the cylinder heads and downwards.
Anyhow, I am curious about what type of fiberglass cloth and resin
system they use that could withstand the temperatures under the
cowling. Does anyone have any idea ?
Thanks, Paul
