    I've been pre occupied with another new hobby this last week or so. Rod building! Currently building a 9wt switch fly rod. It's a fun project!! It'll be my ocean rod for king & coho salmon... And probably try it steelhead fishing to. As for the laser build, I've been working on a choke system...

    So new models on Extreme Flight RC? I've been itching to get a 60" electric 3D model. Been leaning towards the tried and proven Extra 300 EXP, but I noticed the 3DHS has the Slick 580 in a 60" version as well... well shoot me running! What do I do!?!? I noticed that the dimensions are identical...

    Ok, just making sure! I misread what you said about cutting the area in front of the engine. my bad. I really need to get my act together, create, and post the way I've been baffling.... I've been holding off on the baffling because of my choke geometry issue with my DA. So this paint is fuel...

    Steve_JR I've been thinking about using the 12oz tank as well. I do remember my 35RA sucking quite a bit of fuel during break in, so I'm probably going to stick with the 16oz tank until after break-in and use the 12oz after the 4th gallon or so maybe. What did you use on the firewall? Is it...

    I haven't got there yet, but planing on both panels, sometimes you'll have to open up the cowling a bit to relieve any additional pressure that cannot be relieved by opening up the lower aft panels. It seems that in that post he had a fairly large opening for the intake and fwd of the exhaust...
