Hey Aussie,

Do you still need pics of how I have the Da mounted. I expect the muffler to be in today and I can take them for you tonight.
I wonder if you can post pics of pinning firewall. I just got my CAP $50.0 easy crash special. It will be my first gasser. On the fance between Brison 3.2 for $300.0 or new DA. Do you have Ultimate set up with smoke, by using a crank case pressure(no smoke pump needed)? I'm setting up my CAP for nothing but hard core 3D. Info hard to come by, since very few gassers around my neck of the woods.
I already have the muffler installed and cowl back on, sorry. I also test flew it with the new DX7 radio yesterday [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Pinning the firewall is easy. Get yourself some 1/8th inch wooden dowel rod. About a foot will do easily. No take a drill with a 1/8th inch bit in it and drill into the sides of the firewall from the outside where the sides and front some together. Drill into the wood about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Not take some 30 minute epoxy place using a toothpic, place some glue in the hole. No dip the 1/8th inch dowel rod into the glue and slide/twist it into the hole. Once it bottoms out in the hole, just cut off the extra.

I did three pins per side and three on top and bottom.

Using the brison and smoke in my Ultimate I just used a TME Smoke pump. The engine is under warranty so I did not wat to drill the crankcase. Besides until you add the servo to turn the smoke on and off and the valve to adjust the smnoke with, you will have added the same weight as the pump and a small battery
