Default fixed gear

Hi cubdriver

I remodeled the gear of ZEN120 into the fixed gear. A reinforcement board was put in the body as well. A fixed gear is carbon gear of MK.

The first owner of ZEN was being made until the middle to put fixed gear. In the middle of that, because I inherited it from him, there were no choices except for fixed gear.

Kobayan,
Interesting!! You are using a coke bottle as a fuel tank?
How large is that bottle?
Any CG change during flight? It doesn't look like the fueltank is on CG.

Hi
I wanted to lighten a fuel tank. Therefore, I used an aluminum can of 400cc coke. It is sufficient in this capacity because it is an OS140RX motor of good fuel consumption rate.

A big influence was not in the flight character though there was CG of a tank of front of 45mm from an airplane CG.
