Baffle Boredom

I've been slowly chipping away at the baffles the past few weeks, but my time has been spent in 10 minute chunks, so there really hasn't been much progress to show in terms of pictures (still isn't).  I'm at the point now where I've gotten all of the main baffle sections trimmed to fit the contours of the engine pretty well.  The last big problem to sort out is the inner cylinder baffles that wrap around the bottom of each cylinder (the shape of the Titan cylinders are different than the Lycoming's).  I'll either have to cut off the existing wrap-around tabs and fabricate new ones that match the tapered shape of the Titan, or just twist and bend the existing material and call it good.  I'll have to do a bit of research.
