I ended up getting a remote glow plug adapter (I use them on my Heli's) and placed it in that exhaust cut out on the bottom. I epoxied a small piece of additional 1/4 ply (one inch square) and mounted the adapter onto it. I think it's in a strange place but not visible unless someone really looks for it. I haven't had a chance to maiden the plane yet. Bad weather. I probably asked this question before but - what should I expect when I throttle up and go down the runway? Landing? this is my first aerobatic airplane. I have the throws set at the recommended LOW. I do have the throws set High on idle up.

Off on a Tangent: I had to cutt one of the elevator on my Seagull Decathlon. it's the CA hinge. what is the best way to re-hinge it? I was thinking of using a dremel rotary cut off saw and saw out the old CA hinge. Maybe start it with the Rotary saw and finish it with the Multi-tool. I don't have one of those hinge slot machine and I'm not sure how powerful they are to cut into old CA hinges. I did a test on a piece of balsa wood. the cut is just as big or maybe a hair thicker then the CA hinge. Its not a snug fit like when I first installed it but slides easily in. I added CA to the hinge and it Holds but not sure how strong. You guys think this is ok or you have any better ideas?
