I have installed the DLE 35R in the Hellcat. I built mounting platforms for two 3000ma Nima batteries using steel brackets and also the same for the ignition system. I've converted to a single bolt system with the prop hub from Valley View RC. I have the CG recorded as 120mm at the wing root. I put it on the CG meter, and it is still tail heavy. Needs 9 more ounces at the prop hub to level it. I've seen that Higlely has a Heavy Hamilton Hub with a 10x1.25 thread. It is made of brass and is 1.5 inches in diameter and two inches long. I think it weights about 6 oz so I'll be getting close. I'm going to test run the engine tomorrow, hopefully and order the hub on Monday. The engine fits completely in the cowl except for the exhaust pipes. I've filled in the extra holes in the cowl and glassed the bottom. Here are some pictures of the installation.
