Nice write up Sturtz. Looks like you're building a tank. Keep up the good work.
Thank you,,, I just hope it flys better than a tank. LOL
I ended up getting rid of the alum-alloy motor mount and used a Dave Brown 4650. .90deg. These 2strokes will run fine inverted or at 45deg. But the closer to 360. the better. Good old 90-degrees with a nice head-hole in the cowl.
Now I'm down to one last detail. (besides reshaping the warped LG) I need to figure out how and where to run the throttle push-rod.
The Pitts muffler leaves me with only one area to travel back to the firewall. Then I'll have a fuel tank in the road.
Suggestions ?
More pics coming tomorrow.
