Mods,

Do you think there is a way to turn this kit into a pusher ? That's a shame to waste the nose look of this next masterpiece with the muffler [&o]
I have been toiling with this idea since I bought the kit. Regrettably, that mod is more work than I'm willing to put in at this point. The tail boom could be converted to an engine mount with a little work. Just to throw some ideas out there....

1. You would have to take all electronics and move them as far forward as possible.
2. Fuel tank would probably go waaaay aft
3. Find some way to open the air inlets and direct air over the engine to cool it ( the plane would look better if you hide the engine). Also, an aluminum spinner would look BAD A@# on the rear!

It can be done. Perhaps someone can take up the challenge and join the thread?
