Default RE: Junkers J10

Thanks I-fly-coolers!
That's a great looking J10. What a rebuild - sure came out nice. Thanks for the warning about tail weight. I always say I'm going to keep the tail light, and then forget somewhere along the line! I did move the wing back 3/4 to help in that regard. I've been thinking about power, leaning toward a Fuji 43 with side mount Bisson but it is tight width-wise. Maybe better to lengthen the nose an inch or so and sneak a wrap around muffler behind it - that would help with balance as well.

BTW - I'm surprised the plans call for Gnome cylinders. I bought 'em without thinking and then realized the original had a merc. 160.
