Badass! Sebart Su 29 140E Gas conversion

Hi!
Since I really wanted this plane for a long time now, but electric Is a bit pricey to my taste, and there's almost no info on this plane with gas or glow conversion I decided to go ahead and create a build thread.

I'm building it as light as possible, so engine of my choice is Mintor 37 - 1450 Grams including tuned pipe, ignition, battery, the weight is the same, if not lighter than 6S electric setup with AXI motor + The power (yet on test stand) is awesome, and should be much more than 6S setup Gernot is using.

My setup will be simple and straight going, no regulators, or fancy stuff, so I will be using 1 Servo for elevators on a pull- pull system.

Engine: Mintor 37
Servos: 2x Hitec HS 7955TG 2x Hitec HS 5985MG 1x Hitec HS 82MG (throttle)
Batteries: 2700 4- cell NiMh on ignition and LiFe 2S 1100 for on- board power
Mejzlik 20x8
Spektrum AR7000

I started assembly 2 days ago, so I've done quite a bit, but I still have to finish few things, ok, ok, much things
Again, when you take Sebart- you get what you pay for in terms of quality and those small things that are pre made for you like pre- cut servo bays and horn places (covering burned out), there are few things that I didn't like, but later about them, normally it's fantastic quality, and should be a gem.

So here goes some pictures, I will not comment them, just ask If you have questions, I'll be glad to answer. I'll post them as the build goes.
This is my first build thread on FG, so I'll try to meet all T-Bob's requirements to build threads

What is 3D Flying!?
1. It's a special technique of destroying expensive airplanes.
2. 3D flying is an evil addiction. It's a sickness that makes you spend all of your money on airplanes. There is no real cure for it, you just have to keep buying airplanes. The good news is that it is almost never fatal, except for marriages maybe.
