Default RE: Engine mounting & linkage on GP Reactor Bipe

I made a temporary measurement on the pushrod yesterday, its about 95mm with provision to adjust both sides. Its SS, so cutting with the dremel and standard cutting wheels in a plummer vice will be an exercise. Will do it on the weekend. Thanks for the PU idea, will try that

With the engine, I am going to need to check the CG once the airplane is assembled with engine temporarily strapped on. Am also concerned that even the custom wrap around muffler I have just received will not fit into the cowl, its that tight due to the right thrust. I am considering starting off with a FS91 but am worried the airplane would be too heavy for 3D (think it will be 3.4kg total). I also have the 110A, need to run in that. Frankly thinking gas is too much of a hassle on this one- best to keep the 91 of the Reactor 46 and the 110 for this airplane as originally planned. Health reasons may not permit me to fly this particular airplane till October at this rate so I am taking it easy for now, not pushing the build even though I have it 90% complete
