Default RE: Just got the Phoenix Super Decathlon

I haven't read the whole thread but I won one of these at our Club's giveaway in February. It's a very good looking model and I'm looking forward to getting it out to the field.

After some thought and some of the posts here I decided to give it a go with a Magnum 91rfs. [>:]

I got rid of that little muffler cut out under the front end and completed the box so that I could put the tank lower. I'll mount the engine inverted and have the tank plenty low enough to run well I think. There is lots of room in there for the tank. I suppose it would do to upgrade to a 10oz but for now unless I get get to the lhs this week I'll stick with the 8. I think I have enough metal clevis' to replace the plastic ones...

Anyway - I'll post some pics of my engine installation once it is done. Might be tonight, might be wednesday or thursday. My goal is to fly it this weekend.
