1) Those familiar with the X45, would you agree she burns roughly 100/ml per minute at 50% throttle? Thinking of going with a CM Jets Kero/Smoke combo.
2) Can anyone suggest an optimal smoke kit/system for such?
3) Any reason Mobil Jet Oil II is a problem?
3) Suggested UAT?
4) Suggested ball links, size and clevis? Simply prefer using such over the stock linkage.
5) Suggested voltage regulator combined power switch for HV? Thinking Emcotec may be the way to go?
6) Should I consider using epoxy on all hinges versus CA?
7) Are either 55 to 60mm JP mains too large for the cut outs?
8) Is the front wheel a 40 mm? Hoping I can go with 55 mains and matching front wheel that doesn't create a rake effect..

Thanks,
Raz
I have posted this earlier, but one litre would be good for at least 10 minutes, due to the low weight/high thrust ratio with this combination. I don't use brakes, not needed or required over here, and use a felt clunk without header and no flame outs yet!
