Should I be mounting my RX battery in a foam block, or otherwise protecting it? Been 35 years since I flew glow, if I remember - I used to wrap the RX battery in foam.

I am almost done with the inital paint and decals. I have some weathering and detailing to do yet but I'll see if I can post some pics of my Hellcat later.

Status: offline 		Cool Steve - pictures are always good. Maybe I'll replace the wallpaper on this PC with one of them (it's currently one of the earlier ones in this thread).

If you can - post pictures of the inside of the fuse - always looking to see how others have installed equipment.

Where's Mankato? (have family in Jordan)

Status: offline 		Mankato is about 40 min south of Jordan on 169. I can post pics of the inside of my fuse but it'll look odd. Mine is a conversion to electric power using A-123 batts.

But I can show it off anyway.

Status: offline 		Hey guys, What would be a good two stroke engine for this plane. Something with plenty of power but I dont need unlimited vertical or anything crazy like that.

Status: online 		I have a ST G2300 in mine. It's way overkill, but I only need 1/2 throttle for take off (and less for cruise). Also, You can use the weight, and the big engine chugging along at partial power sounds a lot better than a smaller engine sreaming at full throttle.
