RE: Platt Zero Build Thread

Here's work on mounting my Zenoah G38. This bird should be well powered.

As you can see from earlier in the build thread, I also have a Super Tigre engine that Ron sold me with the kit, but I really wanted to have a smoke capability so we could simulate some "dogfights"... so gas seemed the way to go.

But... since this is my first gasser, I nearly had a catastrophe... important safety tip for all us glow guys... DO NOT presurize the gas tank from the muffler!!! I'm lucky I didn't have a fire on my test bench. The more you know....
