FG14 in an RV-8
Have one of the Hanger 9 RV-4 on order and was thinking about installing the FG14 for the motor.... Anyone have any tips on this setup? Not sure if it will fit or not. Should be the same size but if anyone has any sugestions it would help. I will be installing with a DX7.
Thanks

RE: FG14 in an RV-8
Should work. The engine itself is the same physical size as the recommended .82 you just might have to get creative with mounting the ignition box and battery. Also because of the ignition box&batt, you "may" need to add a tad of tail weight to compensate. Keep that in mind when mounting the radio components as you might be able to arrange them to compensate for the added nose weight.
