Status: offline 		Really want to put smoke on this, but real estate is going to be tight. Placing EI and twin EI batteries and opti-kill and switching where the fuel tank goes up front and the fuel tank on CG in the fuse. So basically I'm only feeling to be able to do this, have to look at wing tanks for the smoke oil. Best I can do is dual 6oz in the ribs forward of the spar. But looking at this, it is opening a big can of worms to me for filling and drawing of the tanks. Has anyone tried this?

What size ignition batteries are you running?

Powering the SNL with a twin is what I would have done, can't wait to see & hear the vid!

Looking good flynte!

I had forgotten what a baseball bat the G-SNL's fuse is.

I'm thinking about putting the V-twin on mine but it only puts out 17 pounds of thrust, so I'd need to remove 2 pounds of weight out of the frame.
