I enjoy flying 3ch. planes but back in the day the designers really used a lot of dihedral. This one isn't as much as some of them but it is a bunch. For myself I would have reduced it a bunch but the fellow I'm building it for said to just cut it in half. That is still a total of 4 inches. If it isn't enough he can add more during the rebuild!!
Gene, I don't think you could start the 1.40 in this fuse so your 15 feet may be off by about 14' 11'' Yesterday I went flying, took my Harley CG Extra with the YS 1.20, discovered I had forgot to charge the battery in my starter. Crap, I had to hand start one of those cantankerous YS engines by hand, didn't even have my glove with me!! Once I got the tank pressure up and heard that squishy squishy sound the YS engines like to make it took me three flips to fire it up. Way too much work!! Your going to love it!!
Talk about a perfect fit for the Pete!! Just thinking!!! But what a combo!!!
