Hey Guys,
Anyone seen this set up,I had a Q42 it had no verticle.i got a G62 hangin around,I'm starting to move the firewall back for it..
Any other suggestions?Does the plane fly well ,will it slow up for landings,will it 3D?

Thanks

One of our club members has the Midwest Cap232 non airfoiled surfaces on his, and he has a Brison 3.2 on it and it flies great, one of the nicest flyers I've seen. It has good power, I dont know how it would compare to your Q42 as I am not into gas engines. I've only seen him so far doing knife edges, flat spins and harriers. But it is a great flyer. Daz...

A friend of mine has a Midwest Extra 80" w.s. with the G62 on it. The battery pack for the Rx and smoke system are in the tail. This combo is great. One thing I would change from his is to install the 2" prop extension on the G-62 and adjust the box to get the propper spinner clearance. That way you wouldn't need to put the batteries in the tail. He uses a 20X8-14 Zinger on it and it is awesome.

Forgot to mention about the landing and flight perf. It isn't a 3-D plane. More of a nice straight tracking knife edge pattern type of plane. Don't get me wrong. It snaps great also and flat spins, but it has a heavier wing load than most 3-D ers. Maybe with more control throw,bigger control surfaces like an XS and the c.g. seriously aft who knows. Just my observations. Still lands fairly slow though. Not as slow as my Lanier 1/4 scale Edge.

Hey guys,
Thanks for the info..This is a great forum to get the answers you need!!!! I moved my firewall back about .05".It leaves about 1/8" from the spinner to the cowl...
