Default RE: The SPUTNIK, a F3A in EPP!

Spotted this yesterday evening: http://www.topmodel.fr/article.php?art_id=529

Setup appears to be different for English and French speakers but I'm sure Nicolas will fix that soon enough.

Taken me three weekends of getting used to it and playing with CG and strangely enough ended up almost in same place. Think I'm just over 135mm.

The spats look smart.

One issue Paul mentioned was right thrust. The foam for the motor mount is cut so it has left thrust if you mounted the motor square to the mount. I have quite short fuel tube on one side and quite a bit longer on the other.
