Hey Brian,

Looks great. Can you send me an email with the dimensions of the headers? Something I can forward to my team of header builders?


Your parts will be shipped soon!

Keep it up Bill I still have a stock 275 waiting. Mike are you using cans or in cowl muffs? Thanks, Brian

We are going to use in cowl mufflers, To make it real loud. I dont like the power curve of pipes........ I know the 3W 275 is the Engine of choice but since we have a bunch of 3W 240's laying around we figured we would get it in the air and see how she does. If it just isnt what we want we will get the 275 for her.

Today we will be making all of the extensions for the servos We will measure the lengths from the servo leads to the power supply and install the ends ourselfs since they will be so long. This will require One million feet of extensions .........

Don't forget about servos, extensions, batteries, Rx, and that expensive thing that the Rx hooks up to.

It is an awsome thing to work on a plane that is sitting on the ground and you can be standing up.
