ok we are building the plane and the 70 fits nicely. we had to cut out a tiny bit of firewall but not much at all. we also took off the choke thing for priming the engine by hand, is that going to be a problem? i would like to start this thing by hand so i dont scuff up my nice aluminum spinner but i dont know how i am going to do it without that choke valve. even if we left it on, the little allen rod that sticks out would be right into the firewall or behind the firewall so i wouldnt be able to get at it.

we are also having a problem with the throttle rod. he bows out and causes the throttle to change randomly depending on how the rod bows. we were thinking of replacing it with a tube or tube and cable. any suggestions, how did you guys get this to work??

thanks for your help with these two questions everyone, i appreciate it.
