Got a lot done since my last post.
Radio box is aligned and bolted to stringers, shaft and shaft sleeve are glassed in, IV mount and bag are bolted in along with the QD engine. Measured at least 5 times before I took the Dremel or drill to the hull, but I'm happy with the way everything has come together. Mounted the engine as far forward as I could, its about 1/8" or less from the top air scoop and 1/8" off the bottom of the hull. Wanted to do something different than flat black for the pipe so I painted it aluminum to match engine (which I baked in an oven). Might put some fiber glass wrap, like on Harleys, were the pipe is attached to the flex tubing.
Much of the mechanical side is done and now I'm concentrating on the electronics. Got a Futaba 4PK and in process of buying digital MG servos. Not sure if I should go with a 1/4" or standard size rudder servo, talked to Todd at QD and he recommends a servo that has around 160-200 oz. of torq. Very knowledgable guy and now I'm leaning towards a S9351 (192@6v), wanted to know if any of you have had good luck with them?
