Default RE: New project

I got a lot done this week..Eliminated the bell crank aileron linkage in favor of a torque rod setup, I had to move some things around to make this work. Not a big deal at all.I chose a GMS .32...lots of power and not a lot of weight at a very cheap price $63. thru Tower. I had to lengthen the fuse sides 3/8" to make room for it because this plane was designed around a Veco .19....a much smaller engine. I could have moved the firewall back but I wanted to have room for a reasonable size fuel tank. Bad news is it looks like its going to come out a bit nose heavy, I purposely didn't sheet the bottom of the fuselage aft of the wing just in case I need to locate the battery back thereto make it balance correctly
