whaturi...

Nice picture. Wow...all that aileron and it still won't keep from torque rolling?!?!?!?

Isn't my Evolution 45GX really made by MVVS? I think they offer it in a 58 as well. This 45 seems very powerful. So powerful the engine came off. I can't imagine what a 58 would be like.

I repaired mine today. I think I just couldn't get the bolts as tight as they needed to be because they just kept sinking into the wooden firewall. What I did was get some light aluminum 1/2" angle iron. I connected the upper and lower engine mount bolts on both sides. This allowed me to really tighten down on the screws. I also used lock washers ( did before too) and put a lot of blue locktite on the screws. I didn't really want to go with red because it just seems too permanent. I measure and looked and decided I could go with 1/4" longer screws also. So 3 things: 1. Angle iron 2. Longer bolts 3. More locktite. I hope that does it. Feels very tight. Everything else looks very good.

Funny, I have a bunch of black oil all over the bottom of the plane. About 1/4 as much as with a glow engine... but this stuff is very hard to get off. I think the glow goo is easier to clean up. This seems more permanent than the engine mounts.

All I ever heard was..."Get a gasser. Absolutely no clean up." Well, why should I be surprised that isn't true.


Anyways...I did like the plane. It flys very nice. I can't wait to get it up in the air again.

Thanks
