Status: offline 		Thanks, I like the scale look that fan adds I sat and admired this plane and all the efforts to modify it and thought....why not burn some rivits in this and add all the details? And so it begins... I figure after a few cases of bear, many cups of coffee and a case of mountaindew..I should be good..

Ram; Are you using a real Cooling Fan? If so, which one did you get, I plan on using the DLE55RA in my 190, how well did the fan fit on the this engine, I have read some reference to poor welds on the Stock Muffler, possible to elborate on where the welds need to be improved?

Status: offline 		  Thanks for the pics. As much as I would like to put a DLE 60 twin in this I can't justify the extra money and holes in the cowl just to avoid a little extra weight up front.

Status: offline 		Doesn't make any sense to me to put a Twin that doesnt entirely fit in the cowl. If you want a 60 then put a DA 60 in it. At least the plug will be on the bottom..

I guess if you're used to flying lower end planes these do look a bit expensive. When you're ready to step up, this would be a good start for you.

Status: offline 		The 60 twin does fit it the cowl completely, if you know what you are doing...

Who cares??? At the end of the day , it is STILL just an arf. Like a brand new yellow Vette. When you go to bed at night, it's STILL yellow.

Just like a Sis-t arf.

And you can NEVER get your investment out of them.

For example, here is an Aerotech Ki-84 Frank I just picked up, RTF for $1000.00

How much do you think he has into this arf?

He has alot more planes like that, for the same price...
