Had I known I would have this engine for it before I built is, I would have had the fuse configured to bring the pipes out the scale location via a tube.
So there's your challenge Todd, mod the fuse for the factory exhaust locations and make it look like it never happened.
On many of the used ARFs I buy my challange is to undo the stupidity of the manufacturer and the previous owner and make it look new. Most times they come out looking very nice. The only real drawback is the expense of buying whole rolls of this or that color to repair small areas of damaged or peeling film. Same thing with repairing and repainting cowls. That's ok though, I'll use it all eventually.
