    Booma RC Intellimatch?

    They work very well IF your geometry is right. They can't compensate for poor setup. Only takes a few seconds to program.

    new purple orange scheme Pilot-RC EXTRA330SC

    Lol gotcha. Kind of like my hint to make the gear cuffs out of fiberglass instead of plastic. :-)

    new purple orange scheme Pilot-RC EXTRA330SC

    That plane wasn't an ARC, I worked through Chief and had Pilot cover it. Cost extra but it doesn't look like every other plane at the field. Besides, I suck at covering.

    new purple orange scheme Pilot-RC EXTRA330SC

    My 330SC turned out pretty good! I need to get a set of gear cuffs to finish it off. I shattered the supplied ones while trimming them. Would be awesome if you made them from fiberglass Tony. :-)

    Show us your cowl exit air pics

    The engine is solid. Had a bad hall sensor that was making it hard to start and run erratically in the low/mid range but that's all fixed. It's an animal though! Never had a plane with this kind of power to weight ratio.

    Creative Foam from the craft store. Glues with regular CA, cuts with scissors and the heat doesn't affect it.

    Had my cowl off this weekend so took a few better pics.... Also have the pipe tunnel gills open with an aluminum air dam at the leading edge of the openings.

    Header Tank pros and cons.

    Exactly. Why "fix" an issue that doesn't exist by adding additional potential air leaks, weight, and complexity.?

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

    Yes I coat it. I have used thinned epoxy like Terry said and I have used finishing resin just because I had it handy. Either one does the trick I actually bolt it to the firewall and coat mount/firewall all at once. Locks it in place but can be tapped loose pretty easily if it needs to come off.
