Default well

bummer on missing hatch covers...

well... i am allot closer.....i got most all done except all of the cowl fitting..
and wrapping receiver and battery pack in foam. and mounting(not sure how i am going to mount them...not a great amount of access ) and final balancing

i went out today and fired up the "twin" i was worried about fuel siphoning out and flooding engine.(tank is quite a bit higher then carb inlet) and not starting...i ran it for a while....shut it off....restarted. it and ran it and shut it off and let it sit. it always started... seemed to run well for the most part.. a little rich at low end but not bad...
i had "drips" of fuel from carb.when sitting(not running) when tank was over half full....but it always restarted...so.....not sure how i will resolve that.
i have some more testing to do. i have a 15x8 on it and i need to tach engine tomorrow.....see if i need to go bigger or smaller on prop ( i have a 15x6 to try as well) and i am going to get a 16x6 .
this has taken me a while to get this far....

only worry i have is fuel one...and i hope it ends up ok...i do not want to move tank.... unless i have to..will be a thrashing

if fuel issue ends up being ok..ill finish it up by next week.
