Default RE: New CA models Epsilon build (easy as pie)

Got the 110 in and ohh boy is it good

After a few minor problems. Bolted the motor in ran it up first tank fine, rich ... lean etc to run it in. second tank all looking good ... ok no escuses now then fuel her up again and off into the blue ... taxying out just checked the throttle response ...that soft mount is moving a fair bit I thought then a second look I saw the engine had pulled it self clean out of the top mount.[:@][:@]

Took it home and reinforced the F1 carbon both sides.

I must reinforce at this point it is not a fault with the model. I mounted the engine inverted so the top two bolts were in the 1/8 thick top piece of the F1. Lesson learnt

Managed to get a flight in between the showers on Tuesday night and this has got to be the perfect combination. The YS is not even run in properly yet and has vertical to rival a .... rocket ...well nearly. prop hanging a dream ... big vertical uplines fantastic ( all though trying to lay off them till the YS is can be peaked out ): D

You might say I am a very happy boy with the best plane I have ever ever flown.
