RC Jones and all,

To put the Saito 300 in, I needed to disassemble the firewall box and move the firewall back an inch. It came apart with ease...not a good thing. I replaced the firewall with two quality 1/4 ply ones epoxied together. I also mounted the throttle servo inside the fuse.

Balancewise, I put everything up as forward as I could and ended up a little nose heavy. One of the batteries now sits just forward of the cockpit floor, and everything else is forward of that.

I've had some ARF's before and was always leery of them vibrating themselves to death, so I spent the money for the twin. It is nice and smooth, and BTW, it will Takeoff and fly on one cylinder, ask me how I know. Won't do it on too hot of a day or at high altitude. There was just a little margin for error, but not much.


See ya....
Chris.
