Default U Can Do 3D Engine Options

Oooh Boy!

So after READING my manual a bit more on CG location of the DoU3D, I noticed it called for 4 7/8" from LE of CG. (that is quit a bit behind the spar! but I guess if you include the control surfaces, your at ~27%.) With the 120, it was defiantly too nose heavy!

I weighted my OS 120 FS and the Saito FA-100 here at the office this morning at the mail center. The 100 came to 1.2 lbs, and the OS came to 1.8 lbs. (both with mufflers). Needless to say, the 100 is going on the DoMe3D.

Next question, how is everyone setting up there throttle linkage for their inverted 4-cycles? Is everyone using the factory drilled hole and a bell crank, or what? I used a 2-56 rod with a "long" z bend to the throttle arm, but not sure that will work with my 100.

Please advise,
