Modified Advance 40
Some years ago I purchased an Advance 40 as a low-wing trainer...turns out I didn't like the shape and I wanted to get familiar with taildraggers. So I first changed the LG configuration and used a polycarbonate radial cowl (peanut butter jar) to hide a rebuilt OS 40 SF BB engine on a sullivan anti-vibration mount...Then after a few mishaps I ordered a 5 1/2 " fiberglass cowl from fiberglass Specialties and mofified the fuselage + cooling ports etc. - Flies smooth and wings have a bit of wingtip washout...great fun (also a billboard when my son used to do lettering).
Modified Advance 40 - 3/4 front view - new cowling and fuselage fairing.
Modified front-end - shows hot air exhaust and refueling valve
Modified Advance taking off at WIMAC field about 2003-2004
Modified front-end also lettering applied
Original modifications included Fiberglass reinforced Landing Gear and wheel pants, radial cowling and a BIG spinner...
