What size lines are you using? Did you have to modify the nose length using this engine? Great flying!

@MissileMist I believe those are 52' lines. I shortened the nose as much as I could and still fit the engine and tank in there. I actually notched the top of the leading edge out a little bit to make room for the tank.

High there! nice movie.I just also almost finished my Sig. I am surpriced,it stil fast enough with a 1,5 diesel. I collect diesels...so no problem to get a engine.But I wil use a modificated Marz 2,5. Very shortsroke engine.I tuned the engine by remouving the sharp edges of the fresh gas channels,make the piston aprox 15% lighter,and of course,i wil open up the venturi..The only think about the plane is the poor maual...lot stuff is badly explaind..I dont know,if you have the same expirience?
