EG 100cc MX2 Thread
OK,, the 'cat is out of the bag'. Red Aero RC has acquired the 100cc prototype from EG aircraft.
We debuted this airplane at the TC3D event on October 3rd. It arrived early Saturday morning in two nice double boxes, thin sheets of wood between the boxes. Everything was nicely wrapped and supported. I wish we would have photographed the packaging, it looked to be very adequate. The Red Aero Team quickly had the MX2 on it's gear, wings and stabs on and cowling and canopy in place. It is in the green/blue Gary Ward scheme and quiet visually exciting!  Thanks for the photo Mike!

Re: EG 100cc MX2 Thread
Assembly started with the landing gear, which is very nice, airfoiled carbon fiber. The axles were secured with their locking nuts. Next a wheel collar,wheel and another collar. Play with the spacing before securing with a thread locker to allow clearances for wheel pants. One nice thing about EG aircraft it the wheel collars have phillips head set screws.

Re: EG 100cc MX2 Thread
The wheel pants and gear are pre drilled, blind nut installed. Simply attach the wheel pants to the gear legs with the supplied M3 screws. ( remember the thread locker)

Re: EG 100cc MX2 Thread
The completed LG is screwed to the gear plate, one center screw with a blind nut and four screws with ny-lock nuts. The four outer are through aluminum angle, tying the gear to substantial structure ( the engine box). Easy to reach through the cannister tunnel.

Re: EG 100cc MX2 Thread
The tailwheel is pretty standard, and is attached with three wood screws into a hard ply plate located in the lower, aft fuselage,,,,,right where it should be. Everything is pre drilled. I did 'harden' the holes with some thin CA.
Don't worry about the wood screws,, they are plenty strong.
