Default RE: Eflite Rhapsody glow

This photo shows the 4oz Hayes tank installed. Also the blocks for mounting the cowl which mounts almost 3/4 inch forward of stock because the Saito sticks out further forward. I made the blocks from two pieces of 3/8 bass wood glued together and then drilled and tapped (the wood) for a 6-32 screw. Then used a piece of 3/4 inch triangle stock to make them stronger. You can also see the cowl which has been cut to let the Saito stick out. Cutting the cowl means you have 3 mounting tabs rather than four - so I used 5 minute epoxy mixed with micro balloons to strengthen the bond between each tab and the cowl. So far so good.
