I guess there IS a bright side to three pics at a time

Painted the tail cone with 3 coats of sun yellow enamel. Going to let it sit for a few days and then add a blue stripe.

Made a little receiver shelf in the back. I like it out of the way in a clean spot.

Finally reached a point in the build where I felt it was time to install the engine!

Used a nylon clevis and a ball link for the choke.

throttle arm was from stuff I had lying around with 2mm ball links. VVRC extended throttle carb arm.


Put a piece of Viton fuel tubing on.



then with a dab of locktite, put the engine on wit the supplied bolts

 

[AKNick]

mounted the ignition module with dubro foam and velcro.


Got the throttle linkage on. Note a dab of medium CA on the nut.


Put the fuel tank in. Using a 8oz V2 fortitude tank. Not quite sure where my fill line will go, so I just coiled it up for now.

Getting to end will not take much longer. Nice work, really doing solid low maintenance build everything looks bulletproof.

You better hurry that 3 day flying season window is just around the corner!!! Nice work.

Trimming the cowl up with the DLE20. Nothing too exciting here, made a nice cutout for the plug and marked where the cap rubs. If I secure the ignition lead off to the side I don’t have to cut anything. Not quite sure which way I want to go.

 

[AKNick]

Cut a hole for the exhaust pipe.
