I want to revisit one subject. Mounting the turbine. Options are above or below the rails/with or without packing. In either case I expect to use a throttle to elevator mix for when I pour the coals to my Cheetah. It's been a few years now since the manual was written, we all know Dave has build and flown a bunch of these planes. Where would you put the motor?
I mounted my Cheetah below the rail(with the fuse upright). Had to extend the rails as the tabs on the Cheetah were too narrow. I haven't had many flights yet but I don't seem to remember it needing trim at different throttle setttings. Maybe I was so impressed with it's flying qualities I didn't notice.
