    I think you'll have to extend the tunnel. A canister should fit though. Edit: turns out I was wrong per the next post.

    Man it's been a weird year here. End of February and the blueberry bushes are budding. Super early. Hit almost 50 degrees here which is equally abnormal for southeast Alaska this time of year. There is no snow on the ground anymore! I put a new aileron ball link on my slick... Turns out the new...

    I think I'm done with the CG, 1/4" is pretty close, plus with 16oz of fuel I think it should be about right. I anticipated it being nose heavy, and moved as much aft as possible. Surprised yours is tail heavy. Maybe the DLE is lighter? Dunno. I guess I'm going to have a maiden to look forward...

    Propeller Istallation: Used the DA drilling Guide. Prop at roughly the 2 o'clock position coming up on TDC. Falcon 20X9 Don't forget to balance!!!! But in this case it was perfect.

    Muffler Installation. Jtec wrap around pitts muffler, Nordlock washers #19282, Ultra Copper RTV. Here is a close up of the Nordlock Washers. Clean everything with alcohol to the RTV gets a good bond. The consensus was to put copper RTV on the threads of the muffler bolts and a thin...

    Wing Servo Wire Extensions. TDRC 6" 20AWG And once again added looming. Now you can see the whole setup to the receiver. I used hot glue to keep the antennas in place. I also put a bead across all the servo wire connectors for extra strength.

    Having a spare channel in the Receiver, I decided to Y harness the battery input to help share the load and add a little bit of security. Obviously I decided to opt out the idea of putting a switch in like SupaTim. I added looming to that wicked creation afterwards. I used 6" TDRC 20AWG servo...

    Batter Installation. ED Nano A123 2500 w/deans output and a servo plug for charging. Fabricated a tray to sit just aft and below the rudder servo for optimum CG. Added looming to the battery cable.
