Jim you've done a fantastic job on that plane. It looks very smart indeed! Congratulations!
What is that bent wire near the exhaust? A choke lever maybe?
I'm just about to start my SS. I'm powering with a DLE30. I too am going with the pin type hinges. That youtube link by Builder Jim convinced me they were the way to go.
Thanks to this thread I feel a lot more comfortable about the task ahead as its only my second build.
So many great tips from all those that have gone before & discovered the pitfalls(& the triumphs!).
What prop do you have fitted? I presume I would need about the same? I'd love to see some under the hood photo's now its complete.
Good luck with the maiden mate& lets hope ya have some luck with the video.Cant wait to see it.
