RE: ESM Spitfire 72.5

You will love your ESM Spitfire. My cowl was cracked on top also. I added lots of new fiberglass inside after the engine cut outs were done to make it stonger. You are going to need to add wieght up front anyway.
I have a new DLE30 with wrap around muffer that I may replace my Saito 120 4s with. I love the Saito, good fit, good power, great sound....but.... I hate paying 40$ a jug for nitro from my LHS. A jug does not go far withthatmotor.
It looked to me thatmy DLE 30 will not fit unless I saw off the firewall and make a new one about 1/2 inch back?
Other option might be to cut a hole in the firewall to let the carb recess into and use shorter stand offs, but as you see the stock firewall area is pretty small.
let me know how you make out with the DLE35 RA install.
