Finally got the radio, trim, expo, etc done!
Fueled up the DL 50 and did about 8 flips and it barked to life. Took off the choke, 3 flips and she came to life!
About a half turn rich on the high speed and I am getting 6,900 rpm on the top end and a little lean on the low end and getting 1,600 on the idle. Very happy! Plan to taxi test on Thursday if the weather cooperates and if I can get out of work in the late PM.

All I manage to accomplish in the workshop tonight was installing the rudder on the Crack Laser. Good thing slow and steady wins the race.

Nope. Mounts to the bottom of the motor box. The gear on ultimates sweep back instead of forward like most birds do.

Well the cap was hanging a little tail heavy when I balanced it and was gonna have to add some weight to the nose. Who wants to add weight. I just relocated the rudder servo from the tail up into the fuse. I put it as far forward as I could so it's right up behind the tank tray. Cut a few lightening holes add a little glue shake it up and voilà we have a rudder tray. Best part I didn't have to add any weight.
Also sent some photos of the plane to Dennis at Carden. He was impressed and gave me a bit of info on the plane and of course I tried to convince him to bring back the cap kit.

I see. Looks kinda weird without the cowl. Guess I never paid close attention.

Thank you sir. Forestner bits cut some pretty holes in plywood.
