Hi Scott.  I got your question in my email today. 

The baffle material is standard 3" silicon baffle seal I purchased at Aircraft Spruce, part number 05-00810.  (https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/siliconecowlseals5.php).  I trimmed the standard 3" width down to 50mm (just under 2") using a straight edge and a utility knife.  It works great and should last a long time.

Hi Scott!

Thanks for your message! Yes, absolutely please plan to come see my project when you make it to Fort Myers. Just give me a heads-up that you are coming. danphilgreen@gmail.com, 239-938-4416. And texting to that no. is fine. I purchased my project with much of the structural work done and it was set up as a tri. I would actually prefer a taildragger. I think they look better and I enjoyed learning to fly a J-3 many years ago, so I like taildraggers. But I'm trying to control costs as much as possible and I understand insurance is considerably more for a TD. So probably best the tri decision was made for me in advance or I would have built a TD!

Scott! Wait a minute! You are based at KANE?!! This is crazy. My daughter and family recently moved to a new home in Fridley, a few minutes south of your field. My wife and I are planning on moving up to that area when I retire in a few years. I was planning on basing at KANE as well! Small world!
