Hi

I have just brought a Kyosho at-6 40 size Arf.

I'am interested in what setups ppl have of this plane with mainly engine and fuel tank, I'am thinking of attaching a 2bhp ross engine to it, instead of taking the La 46 off of my trainer. Any ideas on this setup ?

Also are there any fan web sites of this plane that have photos of building or mods,

Cheers

I have read that you need the heaviest engine you have up front. Not for power but for the weight. Some guys say that they need between 1 and 2 pounds to balance it!
I have one and a OS 70 4 stroke is slated for it.

the engine is a rossi still unsure of wieght and power I assume it's bigger than a 46 am unsure of the rossi sizes at this time

I ran a ST G90 sideways with a pitts underneath. The head blended in with the cowl and did not stick out. I also used Hobbico retracts and they were fine but I had to dig out the well a bit to make it fit down inside. Used a dremel
