Hi Sportflier,
Thanks for the images and your motor mounting method. My engines on its way.. WooHoo! (Homer stylee ) and the plans for 'Ryans Rebel' have been ordered from RCM. I decided to go for the stick-type model as I just thought it'd be easier & faster to get in the air and also easier to modify and generally mess around with.

Hi Jim,
I saw your build while I've been surfing around these past few days - your Ryobi looks superb! Did you have to do a full strip down for the red finish, is it a powder coat or paint? Nice [sm=thumbup.gif]

Hey, more pictures while I was typing

I did look at the BUSA Stingray 120 (aswell as the Sig 4*120 & Lanier Stinger 120) but they aren't even available over here in England. And if they were they'd be big bucks! Eg the BUSA EAA Bipe costs $225 (£125) here! Hence the plan build...

BTW maybe I'm being very impatient (who, me? ) but I haven't heard from Peter @ Wacker yet... are they on holiday or something?

Steve
