My proyak did the same thing. I will add stock when I recover over the winter. How big does the tri-stock need to be?

I didn't. I can get to the choke arm with my finger. So it is very easy to just flip it on and off.

lol I wasn't even thinking about what I was wearing in the picture.

The ground killed it.... The fact that I was doing low rollers and zoning out a bit probably didn't help either

LOL, I did the same thing about a year ago at a fly-in event here in OH. Was talking with my buddy while flying and we got engrossed talking about scale warbirds.....totally lost concentration doing low rollers and rolling loop turnarounds. smacked the hell out it into the ground!

Not so much the weight, but I dislike getting "aluminum paste" stains on my hands after every flight session.

Status: offline 		Getting ready to start putting one of these together (Fusion/DLE20). OMP suggested CG and surface throws OK? Any "gotcha's" that anyone would like to share? Saw the triangle stock suggestion, sounds good after checking out the kit. What's everyone getting for an overall (dry) weight?

TIA -Al

Turned out fine, I think. Still not sure where I'm going to end up regarding CG but getting close to minimizing possibilities and doing a mock up. I located engine by looking at your prop location, matching it pretty much. Ignition module located where yours must be. Lead on module points to the rear, wire then runs in back of carb to get to plug. Used some 1/2" stock to shim the cover they supply for that area to clean up that install. With the carb back this far, the supplied tank is too big. I have a 6 oz that fits pretty good. Would you guess that might give me a safe 10 minute flight?

6oz tank is what I'm using. For the first gallon until I had pretty much a final tune on it I had my timer set for 10:30 and was landing with about an ounce of fuel. Now after 150 flights I land after 10:30 and have roughly 2.5 ounces left. I normally do a fuel check at 10:30 and then fly for another couple of minutes.
