Hi Butterbum, I am guessing the leads are not finished, the fuel line looks a bit close to the cans as well.

Don't forget to include a second method of shutting down your red headed step child if your going to IMAC it.

Bet you can't wait to get it in the air, Talbs flew nice (oh there is another one I got to fly...LOL), it will have heaps of grunt.

Gees you got a sharp eye their Cookie, still a bit more work on the fuel lines and ignition setup. Ernie has got me a 3W ignition cutoff on order. That red headed monster is going to be awesome, if your a good boy I might let you hold it one day so you can feel some real power LOL

LOL, ps Talbs is rolling around the floor at my control room at work.

Hey TD, yep going run the 25x12 3B PT. Ernie reckons it should be a good prop to start with, then when she lossens up a bit maybe a 26x12 3B.

I've been running a 23x10 2B pT on my 3W55 and that thing pulls awesome. Great props.

Good stuff Blunderbum, as Cookie said they do fly nice. Still have got a good three days of work to go, but the QQ yak is slowly comming to life, got the DA one Fitty in yesterday, the last 2 biggies left, the wiring and header/ can set up. Hope to test flight next week as well ,when back off shift again.
With all this wind and rain here in Adelaide i best be getting back in the shed. Hope the test flight goes well Simon

Nice stuff, whats the run in needle settings for the 106cs off the green run in card for that motor and ground rpm it was run up to, (ps not the default tilitson carb settings in the book).

Its good to see its got that new induction block allowing it to run consistent while rich, and those things love fuel, they loose there excess power when you take it away being fussy..
