1x Hitec 5625 for Throttle.
1x Savox 1258TG for Rudder.

This is an old thread, but could any of you who have one measure the cowl width and height where it meets the fuselage? I do not need a micrometer measurement, just a rough 7.5" or 8" or whatever it is. I need to find a surrogate for another out of production airplane. Thanks!

Just over 8 inches

JoeyCoates

Great, thanks Daryl. I need 8" wide and 8" high so that should work and I found one on amazon of all places for just over $12 shipped. Was 8" the width and height by chance?
Thanks again

darylm44

Yes 8 x 8 or very close.

JoeyCoates

Thanks man, I really appreciate it.

JoeyCoates

Hey Daryl, just wanted to say thanks again... $12.81 and it fits like a glove. I appreciate the measurements. There is no way I could have made one for that.

You are welcome.

My Feedback: (1)

I just bought one of these, brand new but some hangar rash. $60! I have a great running Stihl 28cc 4 mix to go in it. Ill be aiming for the 9-9.5 auw threshold. THis will be my first big gasser airplane but I have lots of flying experience with aerobatic glow designs, + heli pilot skills.
What a great thread with a mass amount of info, and it seems as though its a winner!
