Not sure if that engine will work the best for this app. From my own experience they are timed to run in the high teens, something you likely will never see with a prop large enough to clear than large cowl, (safely that is!).


Dug into the fuse and took a chunk out of each side frame to give better access to the wing retainers. That meant I had to add basswood keels and side braces to make up for the loss of structure. Also meant I had to relocate the throttle servo which now resides below the power panel. That meant the cowl had to come off, etc. etc.....

At this point working on rerouting all the wiring so it still clears the C/F wing tube and looking at where and how to mount the 2.4 antennas so they are perpendicular and clear of any other electrical. Of course I don't have any extensions the right length for the flaps, but will rig something up to at least allow for programming the mixes.

I will have some pics up soon.
