Default RE: A home for my Rossi 53

ORIGINAL: tIANci

I finally got some bling-bling for my Rossi 53. Now, the question is where do I put her. I got limited choice on planes here. I narrowed it down to the following:

WM Barbera Jean - will the Jett muffler clear the firewall?
WM Nemesis - will the Jett muffler clear the firewall?
GP Shoestring Racer - might the Rossi be too small?
GP Cosmic Wind - might the Rossi be too small?
Balsa USA Enforcer

I would love the Kyosho Kelly but the muffler will not clear the firewall for sure. Same goes for the GP Revolver. I can't get a Patriot here, it would be great if I could. Any input is most appreciated.
Time to get the knife, saw, glue, glass, wood, dremmel tool and paint out on the bench - and accomodate the engine in the aircraft.

Unfortunately ARF designers rarely consider a proper 2-c engine installation. Everything seems to be designed for 4-c or electric these days.

Take a look at the Sundowner 50 rework over in the SD thread nicely fit OS91 up front. Just takes some modeling skills.

You have some work to do.
