The G26 has lived in my Rascal 110 for 1.5 years now. It took a bit of work. Custom mount, aluminum muffler standoff and I put in a 32 oz tank. It will fly for an hour that way. My on-board GPS acumulated 1,500 miles of surface distance covered. Some of it autonomous. it was 20 pounds with all the gear and camera's. I had some structural issues but they were easy to fix. This plane is designed to be lightweight and it's structure dictates it. If you make it heavy, fly it gently. The nice thing about the g-26 is maximum reliability with no Electronic ignition. I like a magneto engine. I have enough stuff on board as it is without having to have an extra battery pack just for spark. I also mounted both elevator and rudder servo in the rear. There is a cutout on each side of the fuselage under the stab for that. I didn't pull/pull from the center. By the time it was all said and done, I was a little tail heavy. I finally built a new twin tail boom plane so my rascal is in retirement. I won't fly it with all the gear anymore so am looking forward to flying it just for fun. The fire wall has been just fine. It's built in pretty well. My trouble came in the butt joined tail section, and pulling a strut mount right out through the sheeting under a wing when pulling out of a screaming dive. It brought about 25 percent of the sheeting with it. Fortunately I got it set down without the wing folding. I openned up the sheeting on top of the wings over the struts and beefed them up. (They just had a little ply block set in place with hot glue on the sheeting in there. No false ribs around it or anything.) I don't fly with the wheel pants or stock tires. I have some Du-bro inflatable 5 inchers up there for tactical take offs. Even with all that, it's a floater.

Have fun. It can and has been done to quite the success.
