I have been pretty luck and have a lot of very old planes, back in the late 80’s when CA hinges became the rage I built a number of planes with them. only to find out later the CA layer separates from the structural layer. I developed a test and replaced all the hinges on the plane when I found one bad one. Quite often while removing the surface I found that while the others passed my test they to had failed and were supported by the other hinges around them. keep that in mind while checking.

While we are talking about mounting the engine what are you guy’s using for tanks? The one provided with the kit is 420ml or 14.2 fl. Oz.. under sized for a 60 2c. eventually I will look at installing a 24floz tank if that will leave enough room for the E and R servos.

also has anyone used the provided vibe mount? I have some concerns on using the LT ply they have there. Typically in this type of application when clamped between two hard surfaces (the hard block under the mount and the engine) the center layer of the lt ply gives way and the engine is constantly in need of being tightened up.
