Chris,

It should be plenty. I've seen one fly on 7# thrust. Where do you fly?

Status: offline 		Hey,

I'm in a bit of a conundrum (sp?) with something. The way my radio gear is situated like this: The pumps and solenoids are on a tray above the nose-gear mount. The receiver is on the same tray as the ECU's (with about two inches seperation), sitting two inches above the aforementioned tray. I know you're supposed to isolate the engine electronics from the radio electronics, but space is at a major premium in here. Ideas?

Status: online 		Shaun,
I know what your going thru their! hence the reason i decided to stuff my UATS up by the nose gear plate and the reciever under the middle hatch. Would it be a possibility for you to put the reciever either ontop of the tanks or on the forward side of the front wing spar bulkhead?

Status: offline 		Shaun, why not locate the Ecu's above the inlets in the engine bay forward of the bypasses, put the pumps/solenoids in the hatch just forward of the engine bay, and the uat's and receiver on the plate above the nose gear mount. Had my SM f18 Ecu there and that's also where the ECU is in my Yelllow F15. Puts lots of distance between ecu's and pumps and the receiver. Also the plug in for the data terminal (jetcentral) is in the ecu so makes it handy for hookup since engine hatch is off for startup. I know Jet Cat uses a separate board for Data terminal connection, but that could also be located aft. Steve

Status: offline 		Shaun, I have finished the "washers" for the landing gear. They are $30.00 shipped for two. I need your address to send them to you.

Anyone else need them, let me know.

I'll let Shaun or Steve explain what they are for, cause I'm not really sure, I was just given a drawing on this, and I made it within a couple thousandths.
