<DIV style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;"><DIV>The engine is installed at about the 135 degree point. The instructions includes a template for installing the OS91FX. I used this template and just spread the distance between the engine mount halves a little for the wider engine. This way the muffler is hanging straight down the middle of the plane. You end up having to deal with a lateral balance issue of having the engine sticking out the right side at a 135 degree angle.</DIV>

The oversized OS 1.20AX with stock muffler has got to make the nose somewhat heavier. And the muffler hanging off the side of the engine will make that side of the plane heavier than the other side. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Well I got 4 flights on the Venus 2 in-between the squalls this afternoon. That makes for 3 days of flying and the basic trimming and engine break in is complete.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">This model is at 8 1/4 pounds with fut 9202 servos and 1500 NiCad pack. It should be not too hard to get it down to 8 pounds. This engine is more than enough at this weight. It is swinging a 15X11 APC with great gusto. I had 30 MPH winds for one flight today and had no problem. One of the local IMAC guys called it overpowered; but I aint sure what that means. I am getting lots of practice moving the left stick forward and back.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size="3"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"></SPAN></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If you have someone looking to try pattern; go ahead and suggest this model. With a OS91FX or Saito 100/125 this would be a nice starter plane. It is a very simple plane. Really no harder to build than a typical 40/60 sized ARF with two wing servos. The provided 16oz fuel tanks is probably too large. I can fly intermediate twice and have about 4 oz left. I am thinking of going for a 10 or 12 oz tank. With a YS110 or OS120AX it will fly anything in the pattern book.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial" size="2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">As for the OS120AX, I really like this engine. It will handle a APC 16X10 and the engine is easy to adjust. The book does call for a five flight break-in period, which seemed about right. I started leaning on the sixth flight and it started singing. I am thinking of designing a Model around this engine. It should handle anything up to around 9 pounds on the stock muffler. Maybe the Insight if I can keep it light enough, or the CA epilison 120.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
