There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

A few weeks ago, while working on the 14 RTS, I had the left and right accoustic panels removed.
The foam soundproofing on both had deteriorated. Almost goo, but not quite. If you touched it with a fingertip, there was no foam action to spring back.
Like you, I did not want it falling down onto hot components or the exhaust, so I removed it.
I was able to fabricate a paper template, and using a product we use on aircraft, installed a new material. The new stuff has about a 1/16 rubber sheet, bonded over the foam. Like original, the foam side is self adhesive.
So far it is working well, and has even reduced the heat on the left and right side bodywork.
