Default RE: 150 Saito engine for the ST 4-D 90

Hey Nick,

Thanks for the tips. It's appreciated. I did check out your pics after your 1st reply back. Very nice. Plane looks great! Deffinately gonna re-enforce the landing gear area, and the nylon bolts is a great idea. If and when i crash, it's more like when, lol, keeping structual damage to a minimum is always a good thing. If ya get lucky enuff! Did the 150 motor fit in right side up? or did you have to mount it upside down? I don't remember seeing any mention about a fuel pump in the 150, i take it that the fuel draw is still ok with the tank mounted that far back? My plane is pretty much at the electronics/ engine build stage. Haven't had any real problems up to this point. Only problem i had was in the rudder/ elevator clearance on one side. I got everything lined up/ gapped right, but if behind the plane...turn the rudder to the left and lift up on the elevator, they hit together at max throw. I still get real good throw, but at the max, they hit. I think i'll be ok when setting up the throws, and if not, guess i'll deal with that issue when i cross that bridge. Thanks again!
