RE: Mini Showtime, Convert to GLOW ???
i am currently buildiung this mini showtime with a saito 30, it isnt really all that much heavier than an electric set-up would be, if ur careful minded about the battery. If you calculate a power 10 electric set-up with ~2100 mah batt then it works out around the same. the reciever battery is the only added weight that brings it over the electric set-up, i will try and get some pictures to add. I only have the canopy and control rods to hook up and it shall be ready for it maiden, one question i have about this kit is the carbon fibre rods for the elevator are only on one side??!!!! confusing...?, how did you set up the anti-vibration rods?
Mounting the engine turned out to be a little chore considering the rear mounted carb. i had a spare beam mount of a world models sky raider i used and had to cut away some of the mount yet leaving it still structurally solid. i also cut off the electric mount supplied flush and added a firewall with a doubler on the inside of the original firewall also. 30 min epoxy and its strong as an OX. so hopefully the maiden will be later this week, and i can report on the flight characteristics.
