For you guys that are running the Saito 100 in this plane, did you have to lots of mods to make the engine work in this airframe? What landing gear are you using to get enough prop clearance?
rtn, i did use the stock mount and it was right on the end of the rails, the only mod i had to do was file the left lower "thingy" on the mount to half thickness so the two mount bolts that meet had enough clearance. there is now just enough clerance. the pixs i will put down below are low grade but if you look real close you will see what im talking about, i have about 40 flights on mine now and everything is holding up well
oh, and i use the lg off the 60 size that Barry gave me about a year ago, (thanks BArry),the stock will work but i like the way it handles on the deck with the larger gear, just beef it up a bit and it will be fine[8D]
good luck!!
