Having cleared some other jobs I grabbed some time in the workshop earlier tonight and started looking at the install.
The carbon bell mouth is flared so you can either radius the ply former, or trim it off. My chosen JetCat P-130Rx is so much smaller than the original turbines the mount perfectly fits between the rails, so spreader plates will be made.
The new Evo tank mounts are factory fitted, shelf at the front and Velcro loop at the rear. The baffle has holes to drain fuel from front to back.
I’m using the JP retracts, it’s nice the wing is moulded to shape around the leg.

Having considered which servos to use I realised I had ‘squirrelled’ away a set of JR servo suitable for the UF, since all the Flash/UF models I have ever built have used JR servos I decided to stick with my usual approach, the light 8411’s in the tail will help with no nose weight too 🙂
