This shows the pulse pump mounted so that the hole in the elbow is on the bottom. It also shows the solenoid that operates the primer when the facet pump is turned on.

This shows a storage area beneath the engine. The sliding door is actually on the wrong side as I have to be careful when opening when the muffler is hot. It would have been much better to open on the other side. The storage area has a bottom that is formed to the shape of the fuselage so that the whole chamber is enclosed. Excellent for storing clothing, jackets etc. |
