Thanks. I can't hear that enough. Don't copy it though. That ain't cool (not to mention copyright infringment). Half of the coolness of a custom design is knowing you have the only one like it. Besides, the design was not based off an accurate template so it isn't very elegant in some places and could have been better (i.e. where the wings meet the fuse). Being a professional graphic designer, that is going to bug me a little.

I have about a dozen other variations I did after submitting mine to Pilot which, quite frankly, are much better. You are welcome to use one of those.

BONEDOC

Thanks for the advice on 50cc setups I have tried your suggestions in the past and your info is spot on I am thinking about setting up my PAU 300SP with the setup you suggested all up weight of the aircraft is around 17.5 lbs with 50cc gas engine so this should work very good for IMAC.

Thanks
