Default RE: Capiche 140

The whole engine box is glassed in very fine grade glass cloth. The cloth continues 1 inch down the fuz. Have had no issues with breakage in this area at all. We will see when it comes to the 19x8W though, but the whole area feels very sound and strong. The only other mods dad has also done is the pipe tunnel, servo tray, u/c re-enforcement , and more carbon in the tail to eliminate ever so slight shockflier twist during rolls


As for bolting onto the rear holes, i was initially very suprised they did this(feel like asking hyde why not just continue the beams a little further and use two holes?), but the engine feels very secure mounted like this because of the nose ring. I think i will try it out like it is at the moment and then see how its looking in five flights' time.
