Status: offline 		Yeah, I'm going to fly both planes with the same engine. I can only take one to the field so it'll work. I didn't post any pictures of the CAP the other day and mentioned that as the reason why. As a result, someone asked for pictures of it so I thought I'd give it to them. Still working on the CAP though, but I'm being held up by the lack of the standoffs I ordered not showing up yet. Once I get those and get the engine out of the Edge and into the CAP, it's just setting up the radio, which is pretty easy and should be done in a few nights. If I get the standoffs by Tuesday of next week, I might be able to maiden (with a video of it) next weekend.

Status: offline 		We have not tached the engine yet because it was run for the first time last night. The engine weighs 4.1 lbs. with ignition. So maybe about .75 lbs. more than a DA 50 and it will swing a 22x10 at 7200 when broken in. Those are G62 numbers.

You posted that you balance your props "DOD" style. Where can I find an outline of this?

Status: offline 		The video is called Prop Balancing 101:

http://www.downonthedeck.com/videos_instruction.htm

The engine turned over really easy last night. About 5 flips with the choke on and it popped. Then, 4 flips and it was running. This is one sweet engine. Plus, I had the prop blades balanced in addition to the hub along with it being a twin....very smoothe. I ordered a Bolly 22x10 for the plane today so I'm going to balance that one DOD style to.

Status: offline 		Ok, I got the standoffs for the motor and a little time to work on the plane. I got the ailerons hooked up tonight. I like to use CF rods from Central Hobbies with titanium ends. I just use a little JB Weld to hold them in.

I also installed the rudder servo. On all of these servos, I used #3 servo screws from microfasteners.com. I really like them and they are easier than the phillips head ones that come with the servos. I also replaced the servo horn screws with socket head screws from microfasteners.com.

Status: offline 		I just move my battery packs as far back as I can and then move them forward if I need more nose weight. The plane is designed to balance around an engine this size and it's only a little more heavier than a DA 50. I also move my throttle and choke servos back in addition to the ignition battery.
