It sounds like a good plan. I have never used the Robart gear so I can't help you there. By the way I am in Florida for the winter. We fly at the Del Ray Beach field and I brought my Mustang.

Not sure about the Roto 85 but the RCGF 60 rear exhaust fits completely in the cowl. If yo shave off 1/8" from the twin exhaust pipes they will fit as well, although it might get a little warm.
