RE: Impact
BrianB,
Nope I haven't flown mine yet. Still finishing it up. The reports that I have heard and looking at the plane when the engine/wing are at 0 degrees the tail is kind of sits squated a bit. I should have mine flying next week. Here are a couple more building notes I forgot to add.
The engine compartment:
The engine area is marked for suggested cut out. I cut the area out as marked and found that with my motor/mount combo the left side of the firewall came into the opening. I am running a Mintor 170 with a Hyde ARIAS mount. My suggestion is that you leave a bit more material in the left corner and trim it out after the firewall is glued in.
Header:
I also found that I need 60mm rise header for my Mintor 170. So keep that in mind when you are ordering your parts.
