I had fun running the heater hoses for my Rotax heater and they are just 3/4” heater hoses for water. Looks like you are having even more fun running your SCAT tubing than I had with my heater hoses. The water hoses are much smaller, but they are also much stiffer and getting the spring clamps on them was fun to say the least.
There are some (maybe earlier) heater boxes, that have offset inlet/ outlets. I felt that might make running the hose easier. Ours is like yours and I ended up trimming the inner corner of the oil cooler bracket to keep it from rubbing. I also used two sets of clamps on the intakes.
We’re single com, so I’d rather have it and not need it instead of not have it and need it 🙂 Plus I’ll have the antenna ready for if we add another com.

That is beautiful! You two are doing really nice work. You will be able to fly it with lots of confidence.
Thanks!

Shelly is checking to see if they can get me that offset shroud.
You’ll never use that handheld radio. I wouldn’t have the extra equipment flopping around.
