Looks Great - I love it when I see other kits in the background waiting!!?? That way I don't feel so guilty?
Give us a flight report and how it performs with the 160.

Basically for the scale look plus it gets the oily exhaust out of the cowl.From other reports the extensions make little difference in performance and it sounds great.No I'm not satisfied with the tank location the carb is lower than the tank.it sits at just above the bottom 1/4 level,however its not bad if your aware of the problem.You keep your carb closed until your ready to start and you may get a couple drips out of the carb but it seems to start and run well afterwards,I'll do a test flight first then maybe I'll modify the tank location.Today is test fight day..SteveD

very good .. thanks for info..... hope test flight goes well with you
my tank ended up high as well... but it seems to run fine in testing so far...
and i have found same results...with the slight dripping.., not a big deal so far..
i may move tank closer to CG is my only concern.... i was going to test fly it first and see how it is.. i put it in the nose as per instructions.. but i think the CG locale may be better.
as far as exhaust.... good to know i can extend them. w/ no power or sound change....
ill let you know on my test flight.. sat. or sunday i hope
