RE: Mount Repair
Like Razor said try a bubble-jet tank I have them on all my high revving engines and never a fuel draw problem and you can run them dry with out the engine going lean.

Hey there.
carbon fibre is what shields a 2.4 system from receiving, so if there isn't carbon fibre in the airframe than no worries. Even if there is just some CF here a there for strength, and not full CF, than no worries either. Fibreglass has no issues.

My attempt to get a Whiplash beck in Feb failed but I have a new/old one coming. Read a bunch of threads and will go with
OS 46SF with tuned pipe
HS-7985 elevon servos, 4-40 rods with ball links at servo arm
Robart 3/4in super ball link control horns
Dubro over-ride servo saver for throttle
Locktite the snot out of everything
Looking for a Launcher. Placed a Want Ad here on RCU. If someone has very good to excellent one and is willing to sell drop me a PM.

Pete,
The Whiplash is just like the Diamond Dust. You don't need a launcher. I Just hold mine by a wing tip, leaving one tip on the ground. When you are ready to go just raise your arm gently and off you go. Obviously get a friend to help until it is trimmed.

I was planning to try both an APC 9x7 and a 9x8 from what I read those were the best choices with the OS46 on a pipe. Sounds like I should try the 9x8 first.
It was that first launch and trim flight that had me thinking of a launcher. My Outlaw with an OS 35FP and mousse can pipe was held by the stab and flew out of my hand at a little over half throttle but that is a lighter Delta kit built weighted 3.25 lb.
Thanks,
Pete

I would start with a 9x7 just to make sure you have a TON of thrust then work your way up in pitch. Can you get a buddy to come with for the trim/test flights? Don't forget to allow for a little torquey-roll on launch, tilt it to the right a little-
and POST PICS!

It is a Whiplash X got it right before ACM stopped making them. Bought it to replace my Whiplash that I broke the motor mount in a crash. But I had put my Jett 50 in another plane that lost a receiver and went nose in on a frozen pond breaking the case. It has sat on a self since then.
