gas engines get less power when they are hot so if you cut a few degrees by baffling it would help a tad...

Well guys you got me.

I'm getting mine picked up this week. Power will be the new EVO 80cc on a tuned pipe so I hope to come in lighter than the twins but equal on power. Time will be the judge here of course.

Fromeco packs and if my Weatronics unit arrives in time I will go with a 4800 single pack with a 2400 as reserve.

Servos are still out with the jury. Tempted to go with some very fast Futabas but I have had great success with the Hitec 5955's to date so may stay with what I feel comfortable with.

Does anyone have a ball park finished weight on one yet. I would like to see what I can shoot for on this one.

Kiwi

Larry, What is that between the Power Expander and the SWB Tray? Is it some type of regulator? It looks like it has a fan in it. Thanks

Ron, that`s a Smart-Fly Turbo regulator...It`s a dual failsafe Reg that supplies 17.5 amps, Definitly overkill for this plane, but I don`t see the things I`ve been building lately getting any smaller!!

Thanks Keith!! Get Moving!!

Larry... How far are you from flying it? Also... Do you know yet what header and can will fit the 30% without hacking anything? I have everything but this for it... She'll be a quick build... PS- its a DA50.

She Flys tommorrow! Ran the engine today and fine tuned the controls a bit...I really like the Hitec programmer....The aileron servos are matched perfect throughout the full range of travel with no binding at all!
Here`s a few pictures of it completed;
