Default RE: Aero Subaru by GK Models

I have finished building and am posting more pictures below. I replaced the rocker arm on the front landing gear after it stripped during construction and replaced the engine bolts to the mount when I realized that I should have used them for the engine mount to firewall.

This plane has excellent power with the RCV 58CD 4-stroke engine and is very responsive in turns during its maiden flight. I added two lead weights to the tail for correct balancing at the CG, but this may have caused some tail heavy turning behavior according to those with more experience than me.

This engine with rear carburetor required bending the aluminum tubes from the fuel tank to prevent fuel line leaks that limited by flying time yesterday. I am very much looking forward to flying my Aero Subaru by GK Models this Summer and beyond!
