Jim,

Yes, you're right, I DID have to carve out my spinner for my Xoar prop to fit. I used my dremel tool, and it was slow going. I didn't balance it afterward, but I did try to make sure my cuts were consistent on both sides. I don't know as I've ever balanced a spinner before. Good thought. I should look into that. I've seen a video on it, on YouTube.

Robert,

Is that the paint scheme you want to use? It's pretty, but kind of dark. I'd worry about visibility.

My Pac Aero Monocoupe is no more, but it was a pretty plane. HEAVY. TOO heavy. Kind of a squirrel on the ground, and not much wing (it was a clip-wing). That was the first model I had my Syssa in. Had a landing incident when a spark plug failed. Because of the squirrely ground handling and the high wing loading, I decided not to repair it, so a guy in Washington state bought most of the parts from me. The engine went into my GP Giant Super Sportster. I'm highly pleased with the GSS.

This link should show some photos of it.
