Sweet! Show us your guts..

With all the technology going into giant scale birds these days, the insides are getting almost as cool looking as the outsides...

So show us your guts.... What's under the hatch of your new bird? How neatly do you have it organized. Who's bird is as pimped out under the hatch as it is on the outside... What are your tricks for making a primo setup?

No one has a good looking setup to show off? I don't believe that!

Kevin, that is a really clean setup. What are the little black clamps you have holding your fuel lines in place?

Hey I have a question as well.

My Panzl has the same holes and the Big hole for the installation of cans, and I was wondering .. should I cover these or is it ok to leave them open?
I would think they would creat some type of drag.

The black clamps that you see are JTEC Clamp Loks Which come in a variety of sizes to organize you wiring. The cool thing is they go on with a drop of CA and You can remove them if you need to.

As for the holes in the Panzl and Extras its really up to you. I don't know if you really need to unless you are going to us Smoke. Most Gas airplanes run very clean so you should not have to worry about that.

It keeps the gas from coming out the vent line on down-lines or when you move it around by the tail after you fill it up. And remember the only dumb question is the one that isn't asked!

That is so true. The only dumb questions are the ones never asked.
