Anyone still sub'd to this thread? Im building my V2 i got 3 years ago and shooting to fly at a local jet event next month. Just looking for other hints and ideas going along. My layout is as such
P80 Propane start
Jr radio withe 12120 Power safe recv'r
Electric ProLink retracts
HS5645's on A and F, 5945 on each elev, 5955TG on rud
Using all the stock hardware and so far one small mod.
For the P80 i needed to use the narrow rails and instead of mounting the engine on the bottom, ie i would have had to cut the bottom cover, i installed asub rail above the stock and releived the stock rail so its actually a 1/4" higher up in the bay. I kept the stock 6 degree angle and will add washers under the aft mount bolts to increase as needed. The exhaust came to a littel above the sheet metal rear cover so i mod'ded the sheetmetal using the the thin flashing as mentioned here. Being an A&P sheetmetal mech in my prior mid life, i fashioned a new cover nearest the engine.
Hope to hear from others as this thread has been chirping for a while.
