Baffling folding back

[mike20papa]

Solution is popularly referred to as "the dog house" or "aplenum".   Easy to maintain and functions with CHT's never above 350 WOT in climb, and that's in Texas.  Nothing chaffing the upper cowling, either.

Bring it to AGL!  Maybe you and Marauder can work out your schedules and I'll take you home. We'll put Chris in the back of my E.

I don't know if these will help with the seals folding back, but it's an interesting concept.  Has anyone here tried them?

as a temporary fix I have been told that cutting the head off a large cable tie and slipping the nylon tie strip between the metal and baffle material will definitely keep the baffle seal from folding back.

Non-ambiguous Terminology: the metal is the "baffle", the "rubber" is the "baffle seal". AFAIK.
