Did the EME 70 fit without cowl modification?

Anyone know of a source for an aluminum spinner for this plane?

im using the Top Flite Zero spinner

I have mine flying electric with the recommended Rimfire 65CC motor on 12S. 2 Thunder Power 6S 6600 mAh packs against the back side of the firewall and she balanced perfectly without additional lead. I get 5 minutes if I'm burning it up, 6.5 minutes with throttle management. Thanks Rolling Thunder for the lighting info. I went with the 8 watt LEDs, and they are amazing!

Yes.

I think I am going with the GP-76. The spark plug caps are going to stick out.

Hey 185SW,

Do you have any pics of your set up with the EME 70?

Thanks,

How is the printed covering holding up to fuel exhaust?

This is a loaded question but I still want to get opinions:

The manual suggested surface control throws seem really low to me - are they good, bad, ugly?

No issues with the covering, smoke oil doesn't bother it either

I run about double than what the manual recommends, around 1 inch on elevators and ailerons, and around 50% expo. It has a bad tendency to nose over on grass while taxiing, so more helps.
