    Optimal throttle servo placement for a linear movement/motion

    It sure does, I had a muffler clearance issue to contend with as well. I've had quite a few, but I'm close to getting complete.

    Optimal throttle servo placement for a linear movement/motion

    Final install of the throttle servo, the movement is very clean and linear with butterfly movement. I think the servo is well protected as well. sc

    Thanks stangflyer. Btw- your new plane looks awesome. You mentioned there was an other in NJ, is it a public listing?

    yea, I sealed the mount with epoxy, it added .18 oz. surprising... that's why i started asking around, I knew it was heavy but didn't think it would add as much as it did.

    thanks Jaybird, do you coat the mount in thinned epoxy or use some other sealant? I used thinned epoxy, but its a balance, too much alcohol makes it rubbery and it crumbles. Too little and it's thick and heavy.

    thanks Terry, I appreciate it. I'm hoping to install the motor once more tomorrow, hopefully for the last time. :cheers:

    Thanks for the help guys. If at first or second you don't succeed, try again. Take a look, I think I got it. I was able to shave 3.18oz, the mount now weighs 4.88 oz. This is 1.98oz more than the aluminum stand-offs. Not bad I think, I was shooting for about ~2 oz of weight to balance the...

    thanks 3D. Let me CG it and see how nose heavy it is, then I'll start to dig into it. I'll try to find a sweetspot. this is where a lot of very tedious time gets spent... :)

    Also, I can drill more than one plug out on the sides and space them so they line up next to each other to create a rounded rectangle vent shape, instead of a circle. Might allow for more material and a larger vent.

    3D H9 1/3 Cap 232 - Blast from the past!!!

    That's the general idea, I figured the attitude of the plane would not be constant, so simply having an opening(s) would help. But yes, I agree.

    I meant rear casing.

    3D H9 1/3 Cap 232 - Blast from the past!!!

    I was told the twins generate a lot of heat near the rear bearing, the baffling would help cool the cylinders, definitely. I was just thinking of trapped hot air in the back of the motor.

    That's an excellent idea, I'm going to stop by the hardware store on the way home and look around. Thank you. What do you think about the vent holes?

    3D H9 1/3 Cap 232 - Blast from the past!!!

    Question(s) for you guys. I've gone ahead and attempted to make a wood motor spacer as a possible alternative to the aluminum stand-offs. This is the 3rd one I had to make, pics included, the first I basically ruined trying to emulate the exact shape of the motor back-plate, the second I did...
