sure I'll post tonight when I get off of work. I set the mounts in place and built the tunnel around the mounts. I used 1/16 balsa for this. I cut the stringers at the pipe exit for more air flow. On are 42% it should be easier.The mounts are instal on the the former behind the fuel tank mount and on the following former. Hope this helps.

Sweet looking plane! You will love it. Just came back from the field and put 7 flights on the Dalton. It really excels at both IMAC and 3-D!

More pics most are of my 42% Dalton 300

khedge · 08-16-2009, 11:18 PM

Well guys she is almost ready. I ran the motor today. Man it this thing is quiet on those MTW pipes. My DA-100 hit 6146 and 6400 on the first few runs and the motor is not broken in. I hope to get the first flights on her by the Austin Big Bird. I has been a long haul but the end is near. Here are some pics of her. I will get more when I get the cowl and hatch back from painting.

ben_beyer · 08-17-2009, 12:14 AM

You'll have to let me know who's doing the paint because that's one thing I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do.
