Franklin Engine Baffle Prints - Model B open cowl

[TomLatos]

Are there prints for the 65 hp baffles on the CD disk set? This is for an open cowl Franklin 65 hp 4AC-176-B2 engine installation.

If not, any one have a picture of the baffle that I can use to manufacture or a pic of a ship that has views of the baffle.

Thanks in advance!

I have located a CUB (J-3F) owner whose ship is still sporting a 65 hp Franklin and have opend up dialog with him. Is there anyone out there who can answer the question - does the CD set contains drawing for the engine Baffles for a 65 hp Franklin?

I know that there are only a few, maybe only 3 or so open cowling Taylor Young T-crafts flying around out there with mighty Franklins (I hope that it will be a mighty Franklin) - but if any one has pics in their personal albums I would be very greatful if you passed them along.

My 65 hp is in ovhl now, and should be complete in about a month or so. Baffle time is right around the corner!

Thanks again.

Tom,

If you are talking about the L-2 CD set, there are no Franklin baffle prints.

The DF baffles were not the same as the B model. How about you just buy a NOS set here from me. [email protected] price about same as Wag-Aero J-3 Foundation # gets you the usual 10% off....
