Default RE: Pilot RC 73

Well, rats.

The OS 1.60 won't fit either. Oh, it can be done; with radical motor box surgery and hacking a BIG hole in the upper right cowl to clear the jug (for a side mount). I'm told one can get a Pitts type exhaust for an inverted mount that would solve the cowl problem... but the motor box is designed for a 30cc gas engine and simply isn't big enough for my OS aluminum mount.

Guess this one goes back against the wall in the corner, until I can find someone local who wants it. Too bad... its a beautifully done kit. That inverted exhaust and nylon beam mounts MIGHT work without a lot of modifications to the motor box; so perhaps not all is lost.[sm=idea.gif]

Re my other question, the guy at TBM said that "they" dropped Pilot kits in favor of Goldwing. He claimed not to know why. Not relevant, really... but curious.
