Here are some pics of the build, started this week and is going well. Mounted the 3w-106 had to cut 2 3/8 off the motor box and used 3/4 stondoffs to give me 1/8 of a inch past the cowl. Elevators are next, getting the servos mounted and arms are always fun, no big deal though. Better to have them mounted inside.

Aye Men to that brother!!!! Every where you go you see Yaks and Extras. Not knocking them of course, they fly and look awsome, but I like to show up with something that stands out too.

On my cowl the velocity stack will stick out around 1/4 of an inch on the bottom, will that affect the carb at all?
Thanks Brian

Brian, you will be just fine. With the 90 deg stack it does not matter how the air hits the carb.

Brian.....I got my CF main gear from Mike at GraphtechRC this weekend and put it on today, alittle narrower at the stance and alittle higher too. I bought two and will paint one yellow, and keep this one black. http://www.graphtechrc.com/Secure/mall/maingear.asp

The first pic is with the stock gear and the second is with the new CF gear. The other pics are some better "under the hood shots".

It's aluminum......just to clarify on the build. This plane was built by Vic Sebring for myself, so I will get his ass overhere and comment on this. He always does top notch assemblies.
