I never had a gap between my cowl and spinner back plate this big EVER, i used the sock standoffs that motor came with and the stock predrilled cowl mounting wholes, and have almost 1/2" gap, do you think its too big? its on an aeroworks 50cc extra 260 with a dl-50

That gap is fine, it's not going to cause any problems. I wouldn't worry about it.

You could use shorter standoffs. That is a pretty big gap.

Will it hurt anything? Nope.

If you don't like it though you can always buy some shorter stand-off's or make some.

If it were me, I'd probably try to move it, 'cause I'm like that. It's a nice plane, I'd do everything I could to make it look perfect. Would require rebalancing and moving stuff around though.

What's with that junk spinner?



just kidding, it looks REALLY nice

i feel you....yeah thats a piece of scrap i picked up along the way

on a more serious note i used a dremel cutting wheel for the job....and ill settle for that gap.....thyankyou

carbon fiber prop on a gasser? be careful

For the lesser informed, whats wrong with that?

From the flying standpoint, nothing, from the surgical standpoint, UBER Caution, it will remove a hand at the wrist, through the bone, without remorse.

At least it'd be a nice clean cut... should only take a competent neurosurgeon eight hours or so to reconnect the major nerves.

NICE FIX!!! Looks AWESOME

Carbon fiber prop, gas engine, only the number one choice for those that can afford them.

lol maybe its cuz i had a couple of beers, thats funny



thanks for the comments guys............. it still could use another 1/8th of an inch or so, but i'll settle for now....... atleast it doesnt look like Gonzo anymore http://www.hezzie.com/shop/cartpix/gonzoringlarge.jpg

MJ, can we get a pic of the whole plane (at least what you've got so far)? Looks like a sweet stick!

Sure i can show you some pics, although i havent put it together yet This Aeroworks 260 is my second gasser its a very very well built kit, the best quality ive seen yet, my first gasser was a 33% SD Model Extra 260 with a 3W 70 Twin

Sweet Mj

Yep. I've heard lots of good things about Aeroworks; looks as good as the reports. I'm psyched to have one one day!

do it GaRC you wont be disappointed, it is very capable of 3d, and IMAC with the flip of a switch

GaRCfield I finally got that Aeroworks Edge 540, and its a really nice looking plane. Im taking my sweet time on it, have you started on your Yak?

Nope. Finals week this week. Will start Yak on Friday

If I can keep my Yak (and Venus) in good shape for a whole season, I may do something like a [link=http://aero-works.net/store/detail.aspx?ID=308]35cc Aeroworks Extra[/link]. It's hard to spend that much ca$h on an airframe in my first season of RC flying.

Oohhh, maybe that 50cc [link=http://aero-works.net/store/detail.aspx?ID=300]Python[/link]...[>:]

Never too early to start thinking about graduation presents!
