Hot diggity U Can Do, I finely made it to the end.
It took me just over a month to finely get to the end of this thread.[sm=drowning.gif]
Now I'm going to have to start over, as over time I have forgotten what I started off with.
First off I would like to say thanks to Comtempo, I am now a proud owner of one of these contraptions, so add me to the list.
After inspection everything was ok all except the outer former on the left elevator, found it cracked all the way through at the center.
Here is what I'm doing for setup. Staying with the original servo mounting in the tail, placing the tank on the CG as others have in this thread, moving the engine as far back on the mount as possible allowing the cowl to fit in order to help the aft CG.
Tail wheel assembly, I used the tail wheel that was originally on my AW 90 Edge, it bolts to the bottom of the fuse and mounts to the bottom of the rudder by way of rod sticking up through the bottom of rudder. I sliced off 1/6” from the rear of the fuse and epoxy a piece of ply for mounting.
The plane was purchased for the engine and pump I already had in my inventory.
OS 91 FX / Perry Pump
HS-5245MG's on each elevator
Might me light on the rudder but a HS-545BB sets in that spot. Have a HS-645MG standing by just in case I need more tail weight.
HS-425BB's setting on each aileron.
HS-225BB sits on the throttle, located just in front of the tank.
720mh NiMh not yet mounted, waiting for CG placement.
7 channel supreme receiver.
Rudder, 4/40 threaded on one end and solider clevis on the other. Elevator 4/40 all thread on each surface and 4/40 all thread on the ailerons.
Surface horns used were the tri-horns carried by world models.
Main landing gear may change depending on what I have in my inventory.
I have read the post of painting the canopy but I’m not quite sure I am going to go through that trouble aside the fact dark colors drawing in heat.
The factory fuel tank stopper has me a bit worried I may go for an after market stopper as mentioned in this thread.
Now to move away from this topic a bit, I noticed that the Saito 100 seems to be the most popular engine used for this plane. I had both in my inventory the Saito 100 and the OS 91FX but I already had a project in the making that demanded the Saito 100 more and that was the OMP 60 size Yak 54 which is one awesome plane to fly I wonder how these two will compare to each other.
