I've been lurking around for decades, shooting springers occasionally since the early 90s. No more! I've ordered a custom tuned and modified PCP rifle and I think I'm ready for it. 
Ready for My First PCP

- Start date
I like seeing these Yong Heng cart ideas. There should be a thread for everyone to contribute their setup and a how-to since every first-timer is recommended the Yong Heng.

Look great, but don’t overlook the motor windings for cooling, the motor can saturate with heat quickly and toast the winding insulation.

Thanks for the input. Maybe I should just pull the cover off the unit and mount the switch in some fashion. That way the fan can blow across the motor, head, and the radiator. That's provided the fan designed in the housing doesn't move as much air as the box fan.

I actually used a 6” duct booster fan on the motor. The impeller on my YH had no pitch, and I had smelled the smell of hot motor when filling. My booster fan was probably overkill, but I already had it.

I thought about making a shroud that would neck down that 20" fan to basically blow only across the compressor.

Awesome. You're going down a new rabbit hole. I purchased my first PCP 2 months ago and haven't looked back.
