Lancair 360 MK2

Some things I noticed in the construction.

Need to make clearance in the motor mount for the nose gear on an MDS 68 or any large engine
Dont forget the 2 washers under the left side holes of the motor mount to get the thrust (not built into firewall)
CMP measurement for face of prop to firewall too large - measure first - I have more than 1/4" gap - I'll leave it for now
With the large engine I needed tail weight so I cantelevered the 2100 NiMH 5 cell pack off the back of the servo tray in the middle of the Fuse with a Lowes paint stirrer - this will reduce need for dead weight in the plane - at 70mm will target 72 - 75 from leading edge by adding a little more weigt to the stirrer.
Trying TowerPro Digital (they call them digital) w/995 MG - better than expected for $13 ea.
Put the nose wheelpants on before putting the gear on the plane.
Zap a Dap a Goo works well for Front wheelpants components as well as rear windows (dont use old glue in a 40 degree garage)
Replace the wing screws with 1/4 - 20 nylon - ease of replacement
Elevate the rudder servo further and cris cross the rudder pull pull wires to get the right exit angles as well as the rudder matching the correct steering direction
Make rod standoffs for steering and throttle servos as appropriate - did not use one on the rigid (CF) elevator rod
