Thanks Tim.

As a beginning I'm going to stick with the 61 FX vertically mounted w/ stock exhaust. No retracts. Digital DS821 servos (dual aile), 6.0v 1500+ mAh NiMh battery. I should be able to upgrade to a Macs header / pipe combo without affecting the cowl design.

What size of fuel tank are you using? How long are your flights? Particular to any specific brand? I understand that you fly an XLT that weighs 2 - 3 lb. more than the advertised weight of the Killer Chaos.

How's about brand of engine mounts? I've used both SIG & Hayes for my 6 kits. The kit comes with 4-40 hardware for both mount-to-firewall & engine-to-mount attachement. I'm going with 6-32 across the board.

What type of glue do you prefer? Fuse construction? Wing construction? I'm thinking that CA will get the nod simply to ensure squareness. I've managed to twist a fuse by using Titebond and NOT having the structure secured well enough. "Honest, it was straight BEFORE I left the basement". Since this will be my first tapered / non-constant chord wing I'm thinking of going with CA & accellerator.

There is SO much to learn and so little time ...[8D]

TTFN,
