I had a brand new Flyzone Skylane, which lasted about 30 seconds. TOO HEAVY, and stalled/spun at landing. My instructor was flying the plane, and hasn't crashed like that in 30 years. It is obvious the plane will be too much plane for me as a beginner.

At any rate, I'm rebuilding it and wish to find out where the cowl screws screw into. Also, would be interested in knowing if the landing gear wheel is supposed to be slightly offset from the centerline of the plane--it is a bit to the left side of the plane (right side when viewed from front.)

Finally, the backside of the motor mount (side the goes against the firewall) isn't level. Each hole where the screws mount the motor mount to the firewall has a different depth of material on the backside so that the motor sits slightly off center. Is the motor supposed to angle slightly up and to the right side of the plane (leftward when viewed from front?)


Thanks,

Mike
