No, no pictures from back then.
But if you post a pic of the wing saddle area, I can sketch out what I did and repost it for you. Also, I highly recommend two wing servos. Especially with the gas engine. I flew mine with a .61fx and could definitely tell the difference! Tony |

This evening I turned my attention to mounting the engine. I started by marking the centre lines on the firewall.
Then I marked the thrust line of the DLE 20 on the motor mount. Seems to me that the thrust line should be centred laterally on the firewall. With that in mind, here's where the engine will go, at least from a side-to-side perspective. The current port side mounting bolt holes are too close to the side of the fuselage, so I plan to drill new ones. |

I need you to load the photo directly from above direct to flyinggiants.
I cannot save it from flicker and edit it. |

for the dual aileron servos, what I did was:
-choose two ribs in the center of each aileron -cut a partial rib doubler from ply -run two wingspan direction spruce rails -make a balsa box to hold servos -attach box under the rails -recover tony |

I don't know if this might help ya but I pulled my dle 20 out of my funtana 125 and put it on a Hobby Lobby senior telemaster plus with a total weight of 8 lbs (ish) and I have to land full flaps (as much deflection as I can to create drag) ... Reason being is it will still fly around all day cause of the 97" wingspan and uber light wing loading.. However it's fun flying it around as a stol plane and it fly for 30min+ on 16oz tank again, cause it's literally putting around at idle.. Look for your results as it should fun too!
