Default RE: CD ScaleDesigns Albatros CI build

No I'll be using an RCV 90CD. No electric for this boy! However, the other builder Chris has lined up for a prototype (in Germany) is, I believe, planning to use electric. As on GianFransisco's CIII, the compromise in using an IC engine is there's just no way to hide the cylinder head from all angles. So you make a choice. I convinced Chris to mount it sideways (as did GianFransisco) and that pretty much wrecks the right hand view. But gives a clean left side view and allows for a full dummy engine. It might be possible to squeeze one of the RCV SP engines into the nose of a CI or CIII but I somehow doubt it. And there's really no scale cooling availbable.
