Picked up a Aeroworks 50cc Sport Cub to put one of the new Gaui four strokes in. So far the plane looks real nice. It comes complete in one box and is packaged really well to minimize shipping damage. This one arrived without a scratch. This will not be a real detailed build thread because the lack of time I have available but will do my best to cover the basics. As mentioned I will be using the Gaui 50cc four stroke for power and JR HV servos with the XG11 TX. And yes the servos are way overkill but its what I have laying around at the moment and when your a pimp you use HV servos in everything.

That's gonna sound awesome. And those tires look killer.

Awesome. Can't wait to see this one come together.

That's a really neat combo. Are you putting the electric start on it?

That's going to be a really fun combo.

Got a little work done on the engine mount between phone calls. I need to space the engine off the firewall close to 3" so I am using the supplied wood blocks with the kit. The front plywood universal template has some hardwood glued to the the backside. This hardwood is already angle for the appropriate right and down thrust. The piece was a bit warped and was hard to get flat so i made some relief cuts in it on the band saw and then glued it to the spacer block. Going to take this piece home tonight and lighten it up as much as i can on my band saw at home.
