Default RE: 50cc Sukhette Build Thread, now in progress!!

Hi All,

I have fallen prey to Tom's marketing techniques once again......I had to have the 50cc Sukhoi. I have really liked its looks for a while, and all the wonderful flight reports sealed the deal for me.

I purchased the "package" with the TOC 53 and have a question before machining my standoffs. I will be using the supplied spinner, and the plane will be mostly for sport flying. That being said, what is the consensus on standoff length? I have seen anywhere from 1" to 1 5/8", and just thought I would get some input from the guys who have been flying their planes with a similar combination. I felt like a 5/8" spread would have a significant affect on the balance and I would appreciate any input.

Thanks in advance!

Jeff
