    Got some things done on some friends planes and finally got back on rudder tray install. Bolted it down with SS 4-40 hex caps and lock nuts. I don't think it will come lose or come out unless a lot of wood gets splintered :rolleyes:.

    Just talking shop here..... I find it unique and not surprising that gas engines do better in the hobby these days simply because of the displacement available to cost's ratio. The biggest glow engines back in the day and present day are 50cc/60cc. I would be thrilled with a 4cycle YS 120cc...
