Default Taylorcraft; installing saito info.

Purchased new Taylorcraft, using saito 180 (as I did with older Taylorcraft) the manual does not give any instruction for other than the gasser. UPDATED THIS !!!! it took me 2 minutes to find the 4 button head screws, 3 minutes to install cowl and 1 minute to measure distance from firewall to front of backplate Tru Turn 2. 5 spinner. Yes we are becoming mindless beings following instructions that the walking dead would understand. Even the control surfaces on this ARF are hinged, control horns also screwed in. Even when the BIG BOX arrives I look for the words; "open this end" The faster we assemble these toys the faster we buy engines, electronics, props, etc etc for them, clever these manufacturers. Ah what the hell its all fun.

The main thing is to reverse engineer the plane by locating the prop drive washer of the engine at the proper place in the cowl
