G'day all,   

I've just installed the air ramps in the upper cowl and there is significant interference with the prop governor.  It seems that the interference would go away if the air ramps had been pushed fully forward in the cowl, but at the expense of a significant transition (step) between the cowl inlet and the ramp.  I notice on Tim's site that he has trimmed the ramp for the governor - same condition as mine.   Is this normal or have I stuffed something up?  

Cheers,

Very normal indeed.  Now, just make sure that in the hollow

area under the air ramp you also seal it so that air can't

traverse that cavity....that will help greatly with your

CHT's later.
