<div><span style="font-size: 9pt;">Ok I moved the tank to the other side It just barely fits behind the engine. It was a piece of cake to do, although I did have to move the screws that hold the Velcro back a bit.</span></div><div></div><div><span style="font-size: 9pt;">And I got the throttle servo moved. I had to put a double bend in the push rod to get it to clear.</span></div><div></div><div><span style="font-size: 9pt;">The UBEC and new RX arrived. I set the jumper for 5 volts and hooked everything up after binding the unit. I had to use one of my LIFE batteries from a rc plane temporarily as the Li Po was not charged. Fact is I either got a dead battery or I wired something wrong adding the needed connectors. I had to replace the original connector wit a JST- XH and a Futaba male connector. Well After the wiring my charger would not go into Li Po mode, so either something is wrong or I really need to study up on the charger more. </span></div><div></div><div><span style="font-size: 9pt;">But with the big LIFE battery everything works. So I still have another hurdle to resolve.</span></div><div></div><div><span style="font-size: 9pt;">I did find this battery </span></div><div>

I think now to 1.5 ounces. Sure would like to run a smaller servo. Just don’t think the gears would survive the vibration of a glow engine. I think it might be worth exploring though. I will definitely build more CLs with 2.4. and would love to top out at about 1 ounce for the radio.</div><div></div>The UBEC will not fit in the Space I have behind the RX. I think I will mount it outside on the inboard side of the plane just forward of the bell crank. It will run a lot cooler mounted outside in the airflow and on the inboard side it will be out of most of the exhaust barf.
