Engine compartment (cont)

Sure get a lot of 'there is an issue processing the data'.

Cowl mount:
Once in awhile one gets lucky. With the stock muffler on, the cowl just fits. Much easier locating where to cut holes when one can see through the fiber glass!


The muffler is really large.



Some extra cutting for the plug wire.



Nice that the plug wire is really long: maybe can mount ignition behind the fire wall.



Initial setup of tank and servos.
In order to clear the fuse fire wall, some adjustments are needed.
Never mounted the tank 90 degree on it's side but no reason why it shouldn't work.



Servo tray. Four holes in each corner makes it easier to cut on the scroll saw.



In order to be able to remove the servos from the tray, since the tank tray will block access from the top, servos will be mounted from the bottom so eyelets reversed.



Dry fit.



Servos just fit. At worst, maybe a little trim on the fuse fire wall for the corners of the servos.



1/2" thick baltic birch ply used for supports of tank and servo trays.



Reverse mounting of servos to the tray.
