Hello everyone,
I'm building a highly modified S1S and am putting a whirlwind 200C prop and govenor. My issue is the space between the case and the firewall. The govenor that whirlwind offers is the shortest that I know of (5 inches). I have 3.25 inches. I'm looking for options. If I cut a hole in the firewall I will have to shorten the fuel tank and how would i get a controll cable to it.Aside to changing the case, that's the only thing I can think of to resolve my dilema. I'm looking to see if any of you have any better ideas or help explain to me how i should proceed before I start cutting a hole in the firewall.


Thanks!
Blake
