SR77, I got some new fangled RAYBESTOS synthetic brakes for it and US made rotors. I saw the same thing you did, and checked it [the firewall] with a square, I think the DB mount is holding the engine at an up angle, I'll probably just file the mount beams.

PBJ, It will be pretty fast, but I'm also hoping it will be a good all around flyer too. With this type of wing, a 30" span might be possible without the wing getting too flexible or twisty, and that would be a size more to the liking of the masses maybe.

VICMAN, that's my WIFEs' arm, man[>:].

PATRICK, I edge glued a 1" strip onto the 4" stock. No matter how carefully I do it, there is always a ridge to sand[>:]! The more span you give this model, with the same sweep angle, the more nose heavy it will get. Since I am going with way less span, [than the GLH] I hope the CG works out.
