Default RE: Senior moment for my first kit build

Yeah, I thought of doing that today but... hunny-do list got the best of me. Didn't even go flying this AM. It's gettin' bad over here!

Instead of using the motor mounts supplied, we're going to be using a piece of plywood, epoxied into position. My old Senior has this setup and I have never had any problems with it. Even with that 91 on it. Another plus is that you can pretty much make the down thrust anything you want, along with the right thrust. I don't think that I'll be using too much down thrust but I'll have about 3-4 degrees of right thrust. I'll be working on that next.

Tee Bee,

did you have any problems getting the throttle wire to go past the fuel tank? What size tank are you running? I'll probably use flex line so it will bend around the tank. We'll see how it fits.
