Header & Nitro pipe does good, I just changed motors this morning my OS 50 heli just came in. I like the heli head it seems to cool better. I also added braces to the tail and reinforced it to stop tail flutter with the 46 & now 50. There are also some big wire going through the elevator and rudder fin to support too. If you put wire in: Sand the heavy gauge wire (never use close hanger too soft) very well with 80 grit sandpaper. Then I installed the wire before covering and use baking soda to fill all the gaps. Then use some thin CA to the baking soda, It actually smokes as it accelerates the soda and crystallizes it hard as a brick. It has work perfect for even when I glued the Fazer's wing in the fuselage balsa. Just make (A must) a smooth bead of soda were the wing contacts the fuse, then very carefully & slowly add the thin CA and make sure it soaks very well, but do not let it run on your balsa. Walla, no more issue with flutter loose tail feathers or epoxy not adhering good. Works>><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
