110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Jumping in while waiting for AKNicks comments.. in the manual it operate with a relatively wide area where you can put the CG.. Between 2 1/2" and 5 1/2", recommended 4".. I hung it from the spar tube as well. That just a notch back from 4" if I recall correctly. Was planning to go with that...- SjtStriker

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Hmm, "food for thoughts.." -I will consider my options here. One issue is that the Americans seems to dislike shipping stuff to Europe and either refuse to ship or charge crazy money for shipping. There is options in Europe obviously, so I'll check around. -I see that the ZG28 is available. I...- SjtStriker

Snoopy1, Will keep you posted on the progress with mine w/RCGF55cc. I do not have any illusions that it will be underpowered... but with the Xcub U/C and 8” wheels it will be touching 20lb.. (waiting for some parts that’s in the mail.. so maiden still not scheduled)- SjtStriker

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Yeah, not the engine I really wanted. But the alternative was a 35cc and I was afraid it would be to weak when I also installed the xCub u/c and 20" balloon tiers on it. Its the previous "CNC" line.... never used any RCGF motors before, so will be interesting..- SjtStriker

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
In lack of an alternative, I bought the RCGF 56cc motor. They where out of stock for the DLE motors and not sure when they got them in stock again with all my usual "dealers". Result is quite obvious, even with the pit-muffer, there is a lots of chiseling on the cowling.. Looks horrible. -Lets...- SjtStriker

110" TIMBER Assembly Thread
Just assembling my Timber 110 with XCub u/c. I am a little surprised to find that the springs is so tight/hard. Is this ok and install the u/c straight out of the box or do you midify it?- SjtStriker
