Default RE: C160 transall build

Here are some pics of mine. I use two OS FS 30 four stroke engines with 8x8 three blade props. My engines are mounted a little differently than most others with the C160. Most people are mounting them on their sides. I mounted my four strokes inverted to preserve the looks of the cowling. The plane has not been flown yet due to the cold and snow yet in wisconsin. I have had the engines running and was able to taxi around my yard. The engines run great. I hope to fly mine soon. From what others have told me, you shouldn't have to worry a whole lot about an engine going out. THe rudder is absolutely huge and should help control the plane if an engine goes out. Also, the nacelles are mounted fairly close to the fuselage which helps too.
Building was pretty easy and straightforward. I didn't deviate from the plans at all. Used 6 standard servos in mine. Enjoy the pics
