Default Seduction Series - Demonstrator, FreeStyle, Fun Fly etc...

Yes, the plane is designed for an inverted engine. The Irvine .53 fits nicely inside. I cut a hole for the needle valve, the muffler, and two holes to remove the muffler on the other side, a tiny hole to adjust the idle setting, one on the bottom for the glow plug and one last hole for my fuel valve. The cowl still looks great. I started her up on the standard muffler, and the plane wanted to leap out of my hands...I am about to put a thrustmaster muffler on there, This plane is going to be a rocket...unlimited vertical. Balance was very nose heavy, so I had to put the battery way back by the servos in the tail. She balances right on spec now.......Overall weight is just below 4.5 lbs. When Randy finishes my graphics, I'll post some pictures for everyone. She's a real beauty.
