I had one of those...Its gonna be a 7 am start on it tomorrow and first time assembly with covering in the garden to determine cg.

The Moki 135 powered C140 I visited tonight - thats is 99.9% ready... with elev servos down the back (S3305) and an in cowl muffler the battery had to be positionned BEHIND the wing / aileron trail edge. Although after the spray job the cowl is a bit heavy on this one it shows that the "production" model is not prone to being tail heavy...

MAJOR PRob... anyone ever fitted a remote glo to a YS 4stroke !? Cant get mine to stay attached - well is too deep...and cowl too big for my glo sick to reach..
