The aim of the project is to reproduce the original design as close as possible, including the power plant configuration and the plane finish, which is to be the closest to the box art design, also using the pictures and videos from the plane at the competitions of the time.

Therefore, there will be no stepping apart on this thread related to possible electric conversions, tail dragger configuration or any other mods different to the original design.

At the same time of buying the plane, I ordered a set of Spring Air pneumatic retracts also from RCAiir, so the plan is to use this set.

Some general information of the equipment to be used:

YS 61 R Classic (rear exhaust, short stroke)
Hatori #606 Muffled Tuned Pipe
Hatori 755 header (Cosmos-Auora)
MK soft mount for YS 60 / Enya 60
Spring Air 202HD tri gear pneumatic retracts
Mini sized servos on all channels

The picture below shows the YS 61R with the MK soft mount installed. and the Hatori header and muffled pipe.
