got one of these at home as well, and a couple of questions.

my dummy radial was formed off centered, it has a lip on one side and none directly across, does anyone know or has got that far as to if it matters?

secondly, what paint if any did you use when you cut off the edges on the belly pan?

I tried a little missile red lustrekote, and it's not that close, and certainly not opaque

I've also wondered if the choice of engine is based on flying field and the home court grass effect. I don't see this plane as a grass field friendly one, unless the grass is dry and short.

I'm sure I going to use a 4 stroke, but which one and what size is something I'm going to wait on and see how this balances and tops off in the weight catagory as I get close to finished assembly.
