You know, 3DHS, I have several 1000cc engines, and a couple 400-600cc engines in my possession. Whaddya got for that? Lol
Who even makes a 48x24 prop? :tongue

My yellow just arrived! We'll see how that goes. Getting out of the slick business for now. Down to a beater 51. Loving the 48 epp extra in the mornings.

Our setups are very similar! (except I'm saving my DS610s for my 72" Extra that is next in the build queue)

Good luck! would love for you to write a review / build log if you have time!

well mines done. mixed build. had some busted balsa in the fuse. my wing tube is sticky. cowl gave me fits then I refered to the manual and you have to grind off part of the bottom? I left that for tomorrow. It looks like the canopy is supposed to go under the cowl. Best I can tell. It looks like the design is a true mix of electric and gas where the slick is a gas or electric. And my 72 and 74 is a gas plane that i made electric. If I can get the cowl on I will maiden tomorrow. I will probably post some pics tomorrow. I'm beat. Got up first thing and set my wife up at a Christmas gift sale thing(she sells stuff), then some work on the plane, then back to the show, then some work, then some work on my car, then to the show to pack up, then to a wedding. I'm beat!

I haven't made nearly that much progress with mine, still need to mount the horizontal stab and glue the hinges.
Looking forward to your pics! Get some sleep

Well while "walking the dog", I went out and ground off the bottom of the cowl. Canopy still tight but ok. Still have to tidy up some things and maybe a maiden today.

Forgot, then I noticed the bottom hinge on the rudder is broken!! WTH? It hasn't been off my bench. Deal with that later.
