Re: Your latest creation

Tim the suggested C/G for the Sweet ver is 2 1/16 not 2 5/16". Unless you have experience at this C/G i would start off at the safer position.
Good luck on your maiden.

Re: Your latest creation

My latest project. Since I struggle with film covering I decided to strip, glass and paint my world models Strega. The covering was easily removed in one evening and the fun begins. One thing I did do is cut a hatch on the bottom in front to deed up the firewall and access the compartment. Engine mo...

Re: Latest and greatest timing and deck height?

Be careful boys. You run the risk of your motor becoming Void. No metal removal. Stock means stock. What you are allowed to do to your motor is in the rule book.
Just sayin!! You also are posting on an a website where many visit.

Re: Latest and greatest timing and deck height?

I don't disagree with the ring type nut plate but if secure when you tie down the front to the fuse and several flights later you snug up the mount you could pull thd front loose. Stabilizing the front shell is not a bad idea but little gain for the mount. Good solid firewall install is most importa...

Re: Latest and greatest timing and deck height?

That is a lot of bolts just to stabilize the plastic shell in front of the firewall. Just don't get it. I have seen the glass nose vibrate like crazy without tying it to the mount. The web from beam to beam is nice dut dosen't the motor tie the beams together when bolted in place. I think you get li...

Re: NEW! NMPRA Application with Paypal

Don"t get me wrong, Paypal is a great option for those that prefer but it does cost. We will take all comers. Join up any way you can. Greatest fun and the best friends you could imagine. Go fast and turn left.

Re: NEW! NMPRA Application with Paypal

Although the Paypal option is convienient it is expensive to the NMPRA. I think it cost over a dollar to make the transaction. A check and a stamp is cheaper. Keep it in mind if you have the time.
