ORIGINAL: RevyMaxx

I would be the other club member, lol. I built the stab as per the kit instructions. The elevator halfs, however, I added some scrap stock to reinforce the hinge placements. For the firewall, how thick should we go using that motor?

Hey Jason, hows it going? I mowed the field today. Weeds were like 2 feet tall, lol! Grass didn't grow at all and was 20km winds untill 4pm. Got one flight on the reactor. I didn't bother setting up the 50cc 260. I got a spoiler mix in that really settled the wing rocking down in harriers on the reactor.

Any how Rory tells me no less than 1/4" aircraft grade plywood. Lester has some. You could laminate 2 layers of 1/8" 5 ply with some 30 min finishing resin like zpoxy. I was also told not to dremmel lightening holes in the firewall like I usually do. It needs the strength. Also I'm pretty sure even the q-series pitts muffler will stick out of the cowl [&o]
