Saito is 12mm x 1 thread apparently. Won't take ASP exhaust me thinks

Wing now covered. White and Red. Wanted white and blue but did not have enough blue so it got red. Beginning to like it after all. :lol: Landing gear back on. Got some fiddling to do the align the wing bolts with the fuselage mounting blocks. Tomorrow, wet n windy Sunday, will probably install my custom servo tray and fit the elevator and rudder servos. Will post up some images later. Done enough for today.....she said.

Why don't you just use the exhaust that's on it?

I will use the muffler but may have to extend or angle the it bit more and I have a quite few ASP / OS manifold adaptors

Some progress at last although I have just seen a a bit of a boo boo. When I made up the servo tray for the rudder and elevator servos I had not allowed room for a throttle servo. :oops: Oh well no big deal just have to cut out another one. The Saito 80 is now mounted although I did have some trials though because two of the the engine mounting brackets lined up nicely with a bearer on the inside of the firewall, this being as the builder was fitting a different engine and was also mounted horizontally. I had to bite the bullet on a very expensive (in my estimation) a right angle exhaust adaptor from Saito (thanks Motor & Rotors who had one in stock). At least now the exhaust will point downwards and back out of the cowl. Next job on top the servo tray remake is the tank plate to hold it in place and also for the securing of battery pack/s. My suspicion is that even with the weight of the lump up front the battery may have to go right up front to avoid adding lead ballast to get the CG right.
