@ronwc All good suggestions and I agree with you. But I got a question for you. How do you change the mounting position of an engine? The engine is mounted at a bottom angle like TF suggested in the Manual. Thank you for the prop size suggestions if I ever get it running again I will try those sizes for sure!
@Chad Veich I think mine might be a little over 10lbs maybe 10.5. I'm not sure. The total weight of the model depended on what battery pack I put in and how much weight I had to add to the nose. Some on this sight suggested that I mount the battery pack on the firewall or hang it from the engine mount or something like that. I looked and looked, and measured several times. I don't think it's possible to do that on this model. Not enough room under the Cowl. The people who made this suggestion didn't own a TF Corsair.
6v 2000 mah batter pack the model was around 10 lbs. With the 6v 4200 mah battery pack it was closer to 11 lbs. These larger packs was chosen to run the radio system and electric retracts.

I like it when people who worked on TF version of the Corsair responds. Often times those responses are the most helpful.
