Re: TOC Performance 40% Extra 260 Build
Hi Guys
The motor box is all plywood covered with Vinyl diamond plate. All the Vinyl I use is from Alan Mostek at preventerwind@msn.com If you check out this link http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_9104613/mpage_4/key_/tm.htm You can see some of the other vinyl work that is has done for Dan and I.

Re: TOC Performance 40% Extra 260 Build
Did you build any sides or back end for the pipe tunnel or is the frame work and covering on top of the rear part of the pipe as far as you went.

Re: TOC Performance 40% Extra 260 Build
Hi Bill
The fuselage sides and bottom form the tunnel sides and bottom. Just behind the pipes I covered that back bulkhead to make the back of the pipe tunnel. Then I made 2 hatches that covered the bottom half of the fuselage to form the pipe tunnel. I have found this method to be very light. I have done this in several other big planes and found this to work well Dan's Dad Richard |

Re: TOC Performance 40% Extra 260 Build
Engine and pipes are now mounted. I use tie wire to make sure the pipes do not slip back.

Dan,
I think the Tygon will melt (ask me how I know?). You might want to use silicon instead.

Re: TOC Performance 40% Extra 260 Build
What is it you are using for exhaust extensions on the cannisters. I like the tie wire retainers for the cans, neat.

Re: TOC Performance 40% Extra 260 Build
bgold, we used teflon tube. It is what we used to have as header couplers on my old glow pattern planes.
