just got started on mine and need to know a few things.saw in the instrutions the stand off for the engine had some wood washers under them,is this needed.also would like some pichures of the radio set up,fuel tank,and has anyone used a pull-pull system on the rudder.thanks daryl

Yer up dude.

There only a few out now. We all get to learn together.

I put the servo in the tail and still added 4.5 ounces in the tail. Thinking of adding .5 more. Had to add one washer on the left side for the torque. Weighs 15.5 lbs.
Mejlik 23-8 prop. Wanted a menz but cant get them yet.
Lands nice and flys like a pattern plane. Only flew it 6 times.

I have flown mine with 3" stand offs and the CoG was too far forward. Re-checked the on-line manual and the latest version shows and recommends 11/4" stand-offs. (see Chips forum). In the process of re-fitting with the short stand-offs which requires F1 to be opened up and the cowl to be re-shaped. Not a problem to do but unecessary.

Right side thrust from F1 is not enough, the angle on the cowl is nearer, just my experience through 20 or so flights DA50 on a 22x10 can`t get a 22x8" yet.

I fly mine with 2 1/2 inch stand offs plus a spacer, rudder servo on the tail, big 3000mah jr battery against the radio tray and tunned muffler, CG is good and Airplane flies just fine
