dunno, havn't got that far yet ( the landing gear area is covered). but no doubt it'll need to be re-enforced. I did the same to my
TFGE P-40. better safe then sorry. if it ever dead sticks just keep the gear up & drop the external fuel tank.
the main wings are not fully sheeted. just the front half top/bottom is sheeted. I'll be taking care of that during the bash.
but all-in-all the wings looks really nice. no wrinkles.
for engine size I'll be using my DLE20. from the mount to the top of the spark plug is 4". so the plug & wire will be the
only thing sticking out. however if I move the engine back only an inch. everything will be hidden. I seen this one flown
with an older OS 108, flew very nice. good speed, nice scale manuvers. so with the power the DLE20 makes.. messa
not so worried
hope this helps.
