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

Hello,

Some general shots of my Suk: Cockpit/ pilot, venting/exhaust, tail wheel and interior.
the Pilot is a Aces of Iron 25% and the cockpit is built of some light foam re-sawed from blocks I had left over from building kayak seats. the instrument panel was found on this thread I believe. I'll attach the file here.
I have some lead mounted to the engine box to achieve balance at this point. Some of it may be removed to change balance after a few flights. I have yet to fly this thing as I'm waiting for a break in the weather and my schedule.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the forum participants for posting and making this an enjoyable process. Without all the information found here a noob as myself would have struggled much more. Another deserving recognition here is Tom @ Wild Hare. The customer service and professionalism is top notch. With the combination of a great product and product/ customer support I'll be back for more. When I took the plane out for radio testing at my club field I saw some people looking at this plane like they were starving wolves. We may see some more WH planes there.

Thanks TOM
