BShin: Yeah the guy at davis diesel is kinda of a meanie isn't he... When i tryed to get a refund from him he pretty much blew up. He then started to explain to me to make it fit within the cowl by trying to heat up the plastic on the cowl, so when you mount the cowl the muffler will hit that spot and make a buldge for it. Yeah well on some applications but this one was not it. Ill keep it around and use it on another plane when that time comes. It is a nice muffler if you can get it to work.

Salty: Well for me i put some lite ply on the inside of the tank area about a 1/4 inch bigger than the stock landing gear block. So it has extra support all the way around. People also had put the block on the outside of the plane for strength and to get the landing gear to sit lower for prop clearence. Use what ever way its easy for you. Also i went away from the blind nuts all together and drilled and tapped the wood themselves for the 1/4 x 20 wing bolts. Thats after you doubled up the wood that is. I was going to do 3 bolts but i messed up the third hole near the former. Thought i could re tap but ended up messing it all up. So i just epoxied a dowel in the hole which was cut flush with the landing gear itself so if there was a hard landing the LG wont try to twist apart. It worked for me. But the landing i did was just so smooth it wasn't funny. <---- very rare.. <lol>

Cal: Yeah that was my orginal plan on using a motorcycle battery but, when i built a [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_167247/anchors_167247/mpage_1/key_/anchor/tm.htm#167247]Field Box from Hell[/link] I didn't have the room for a motorcycle battery to fit in the bottom of the fieldbox with my fuel jug. I did find a pretty good 12 charger that puts out a max of 2 amps and will basicly keep it from overcharging the battery and keeping a constant voltage at the end of the charge. May try that out this season...
