hey stickmode,
thats how i did my spacing early on in the thread for the XYZ mounting
cant recall the dimension I built up to but I would suspect I posted the dimensions and also the amount of nose weight I had to use in the thread very early on. I think around page 15?? I’m away on holidays so don’t have the ability to easily check for you.
no cooling issues whatsoever with my XZY and we get pretty damn warm in Brissy. Stock size plugs on mine but did a little bit of gentle ,panel beating to the caps and they do skit leaning on the cowl. Mine had been flying for about 4 years now and no bro let’s with cracking or anything like that.
thanks
dave
I'm finally gettin started on the assembly of mine (bought it already completed, so just engine, servos, batts and receiver) and wanted to see if I could pick the brains of those running the XYZ 53.
I copied somebody's mount idea:
But, wanted to see if someone could give me your distance from firewall to engine mount flange and firewall to hub.
Also, any cooling issues on the XYZ, and how much weight (if any) did you add to the nose (understand this depends on a lot of variables...just looking for a ballpark)?
Any help would be much appreciated.[/QUOTE
pm me and ill give you my email i will pull my cowl of and show you how to mount your motor the spacer that's required and a better way to mount your cowl allowing air for cooling. Has your xyz got the normal plugs or the smaller ones? the smaller ones are better for clearance.
Regards Frank

Dave,
Thanks for the reply. This was actually me that asked about the mounting, cooling, etc. The plane has flown several times since, and happy to report NO problems with the XYZ. The gear, on the other hand, is a different story. I'll post a video of my last flight. One main came down, but not the other. I got her down with nothing more than some scratched paint and a broken prop (if I'd hit the kill switch, I wouldn't have even broke the prop). It was a long flight, and I suspect an air leak... I'm 50/50 between ripping out the air system and redoing it, or trying to convert the gear to electric. Retracts are Sierras...

Does anyone by chance have a new or used set of electric retracts?
Found a D9 NIB and need the gear. Trying to avoid spending $1k on Sierra’s with an electric conversion.

I flew my Dora here the other day, and the gunhood came off. I was not able to find it, probably ended up in a river I flew over. This was the original factory-glued hood, which I had not done anything with.
Is there anyone out there who makes gunhoods for these planes?
