Today I cracked the right (passenger side) exhaust manifold, nearly completely in half. Just behind cylinder three's port, headed to the flange. Is this a common with the 2.9L engine and it's exhaust set up?

Most likely from a past launching...er' landing??
there are new manifolds to be had readily.

may want to double check motor mounts and tranny mounts
 
Well I haven't tried to fly it yet... But, a previous owner had.
At that time it had a 2.8L in it. I have a freshened 2.9L in it now.
The manifolds were with the engine obviously, I don't know what the history was on the donor. Thanks for the tip on the mounts.
