Mfess,
Looks good, Pitty it doesn't fit better in the cowl. Is the prop an APC? If you are not getting the RPM up were you desire start cutting the prop down 1/4 inch at a time. Caution the spark plug hitting the ground on less than graceful landing. The Stock gear may not be stout enough, I have rebent the stock gear many times maybe some sort of wood piece on the top of the cly to prevent contact with the ground. Also you can tape over the cowl intakes they won't do any good in your setup and may help overpresure your cowl. Use 3M Cat. 190 tape available at Ace Hardware.
I now have 5 flights on my Moki powered Sundowner.
