1.25ton,

We just did the same build(ARF) about a month ago.

We turned the needle to the horizontal position and left about a extra inch of fuel line so as to make it a gentle turn. No problem getting the fuel line off and on with the needle in the horizontal position.

We had major radio problems putting the antenna through the bottom as directed. It would flutter at 10 paces on the initial radio check. We think it was due to the antenna crossing the landing gear. We ended up running the antenna out the left side and to the top of the vertical stabilizer. Radio test went to 35 paces and we stopped... still no flutter.

Great plane and a great power plant... we are extremely happy with this set up.

Cheers,
Steve
