<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">I agree Bob. Like you, my interest is in keeping this scale. I am going to wind up with a heavier model than originally designed so I want SOME extra power. The goal is to keep that 3000-3200 rpm. I would even limit my throttle servo throw if the newer engine over spins the system.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">I think I have the Q32 but the Q400 is the Q42 replacement. I saw the exhaust change but the 400B eliminates the mag and comes in at 3.73 lbs vs the Q400M at 4.53 lbs. I know it doesn’t include the battery weight.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">I like what you said about the counterweights. I do plan to use individual servos for the Ailerons. OK, now I just had a thought. I can eliminate the two 24 inch aluminum aileron push rods, bearings, and 2 counterweights by adding the second servo for the ailerons. That’s a good weight exchange for one servo.</span></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt"><span style="font-size: 9pt">Do you know I didn’t even think about that until now. Wow, I should be singing right now, If I Only Had A Brain.
I am slow but I will eventually get it, just hang in there with me Bob. </span></div>
