Seems that putting a DLE55RA and maybe another feature like EME Autostart would solve the problem without just adding dead weight.My thinking is better to add features of preformance in wieght than dead wieght.But this is the problem with short nosed fighters.......................................... ........................

Ok, went to bellingham and bought 1/4" solid lead, got that all zip tied onto the firewall, need to assemble for a final time and do a gear swing check to get the inner doors completed, then I can put in the fuel tank and cover up that servo. I have all the wiring done, I think its all done other than double checking the inner door servo and the balance, see how much it will really need! Ofcourse it started raining, and I have no room inside to do it properly, so Ill finish that after work tomorrow, or tonight after the kid goes to sleep.

You know the EME autostart will fit on a DLE35RA .........Here is a Youtube of one fitted on a Hanger 9 Beaver which is about the cowl diameter as your Bearcat.

DLE 55ra is about 500g heavier with muffler and everything, and about .5 inches taller and longer. I dont see any downsides here. I want to know his AUW with the 3.5lbs of ballast before I buy one! any idea on the shipping charges?

Specs:Total Weight - EME 35cc starter 19oz. (19 oz.) Controller (2 oz.) and the Lipo between 3.5 oz. & 4 oz. give or take 1.5 pounds ,Most of this weight a little over a pound would be as far forward as possible just behind the prop. Here is a web site that sells the EME autostarter http://www.milehighrc.com/EME_E_Start_30_35.html

I don't see a wing area listed, but based on the wingspan, if the wing shape is fairly close to scale the wing should yield close to 1260 sq."
Wing loading at 20# would be 36.6 oz/sq' , Cubic loading at 20# would be about 13. With those flaps, landings should be uneventful.
Interested to see how much ballast your model with the 35ra requires, if it is at least 20oz, the 55ra would not increase AUW of the plane.

Throws, rates and servos are set, my gear door sequencer isnt listening to me, but Ill try some other methods to make them work.. But the bear is balanced, and the DLE35RA runs like a watch! Now I have to suffer through another day of work before I can play with it again.
