The plane is pretty much done, so to speak.

Wiring are all complete, and it took me awhile to decide what type of battery to use. I know the most safest way will be to use two separate battery - one to power the servos, and the other to power the cdi unit. However, I settled on one 4.8v, 2,000 mAh niMh for ease of operation. Of course, I will monitor the battery drainage religiously after each flight, and may switch to a different battery configuration down the road.

Since a 4 stroke engine generates a lot of vibration - even with a soft mount - special attention must be taken when installing head rest and pilot figure. For head rest, the trick is to insert a few pins onto the base before gluing it down onto the cockpit deck. As for the pilot figure, install two 2-56 blind nut onto the base of the figure. Then, fasten it with two 2-56 screws from the bottom of the cockpit along with epoxy. I have been using the same installation method for a long time. Even though, it is a bit time consuming, but I have yet had one head rest or pilot came lose in mid flight. Since you are drilling holes on the cockpit deck as anchor points, don't forget to drill two more tiny holes behind the head rest for ventilation.
