Re: Tractor Baffle

You should go to the Husky Owner's forum for more information on this (flyhusky.com).
It does make a BIG difference in CHTs
Also as you probably know, this is not an approved modification i.e. the joke is they are talking about how to make a baffle for a tractor not for a Husky.

Re: Tractor Baffle

Is the open beer part of an STC or just a log book entry?

Re: Tractor Baffle

thanks, is there any chance of twisting your arm with a picture from the front side. i dont own a Husky just thinking about applying the principle to something else. Like i said im not a husky owner so really dont want to be a member there. Not that there is anything wrong with 1.

Re: Tractor Baffle

Lots of planes have this kind of baffle, if you're not just after Husky info. Searching with Google will find a lot of pictures. Forget the word tractor......

Re: Tractor Baffle

I've had high CHT's in my cub for years. Normal for me is 380 degrees in cruise, and in the low to mid 400's in the climb. I'd love to be able to use a method such as the "tractor baffle" to get the temps down. I might try some sort of temporary baffle to see if it works before fashioning something more permanent. Has anyone tried a temporary solution?

Re: Tractor Baffle

I assume this is for a just in CASE brand tractor. :D

Now Case IH for the non farmers.
