So, it looks like there is a bushing that has an off center hole that corrects the alignment. and that's why for the new anti-rotation pin which is a smaller diameter.

Sort off. The smaller tube that goes in the original tube in the fuz is glued at the top of that tube, correcting the error. The new Ali anti-rotation pin then fits into that, simple but effective.

Made a huge difference to the flying characteristics.

Hello
I need a little information about this plane.
DO you have the width of the cowl?
I need to know if a 15,5" engine can be mounted on the plane.
Thanks
Regards.

the rudder horns are the same! you need to re glue them 10mm further back so the bolt holes line up with the rudder hinge pin.i made new ones using the cnc sheet the parts came in as a stencil.

Couple of questions for you guys.
What do the hinge pins ride in? bushings or phenolics like the comp arfs?
do all the horizontal stabs need incidece fixes ?
Is a 170cc enough ?
Most importantly would you buy the krill again over a comp arf ?
Thanks

Hey buddy. yep they hinge like the comp arfs. the current models have had all the updates form the input of team pilots and all the bugs so to speak have been Ironed out

I would defo buy another krill over a comp-arf!! I have owned quite a few comp-arf planes in my time and the Krills are way better in design and fly far better. much lighter too! Iam running a DLE170 and have way toooooooo much power! unlimited vertical on 1/3rd power. it would fly quite happily on 150 if you get one you won't be disappointed
