I do consistant 110 passes by a radar gun with a .46 FX.

Status: offline 		Depending on which kit you have.
I seriously doubt being able to install a .60 size other than maybe a Jett in the .40 size kit. My .46 FX fits pretty easily, much better than the MVVS .45 did with very simiar performance. Back to not going much faster than 115 the plane starts to get draggy...etc.

I just added some today. It looks the business!

Status: offline 		Quick question, I did a search but nothing came up specifically- I just started the build and the horizontal stabilizer (and premounted elevator halves) will not fit through the precut slot in the rear of the fuse! The combo is about 1/2 inch to wide to fit through the slot. It looks like the wood block at the very rear was just cut too long and thus the slot for the stab and elevators is too short. I could try to hack it to make it fit, but my skills aren't that straight cutting
Has anyone else had this problem? I spoke with Tower and they said I can pay for shipping of the fuse back and they would send another. Looks like my only option
This is a sweet LOOKING ARF though !
