Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

Mike,

My PSD is out of the box and beginning to go together. I prefer to think about solutions for a bit before I pick up my scalpel so I am still evaluating the engine installation. I have both a new OS 70 II and a Saito 91 and I have to make up my mind on which one to install and how to intall it. If you have any pictures of the inverted installation I would appreciate seeing them as I am not sure if I want the sideways option or the inverted installation. Were you able to keep the thrust line on center and did the cowl fit ok with the GP 60-120 engine mount? Also, did the fuel tank end up being too high for the inverted installation. At the moment I am leaning toward the sideways installation and would welcome any comments or input from you on that choice. Which ever way I go I will post the results and pictures on this thread.

The brown truck just delivered my next plane, the Sig Sundancer 50. I got one of the first ones available from Tower and now they are out of stock again.

My apologies for all of the questions - I do enjoy the wonderful exchange of ideas and very helpful advice on this forum. Let us all know how the maiden goes.

Howard
