Got the Slick on Saturday.
I'm going through it real good to get it the way I like it.
Not going to use the stock chinese tank.

The needles are going to be a challenge.
The engine is rear carb, and low end sits right against the lower front part of the firewall.

Had t replace the choke servo as the servo in there was stripped out.
That's also a challenge with the limited amount of working space available.

All in all I've got a couple more days before it's ready.

Supposed to camp at the field next weekend, but the storm has set some of the guys back a little.
We'll see.

Have a good day
Bob
I replaced the stock tank with a Fortitude RC tank from the Aeroworks website....

I went with the 8oz one to save weight. I use 4 ounces in 8 minutes of flying so you could do 10 easy. As far as the choke, I personally would just do a manual set up...cheap easy and light.
