    IMAC Double Build, Carden Pro 124" Extra 300 40%

    For future reference: I prefer using sections of carbon arrow shaft for anti rotation pins, or get some alum tubing to fit over the dowel. In hot humid weather, which I'm sure never happens in LA ;-), the dowels can swell to the point were putting the wings on or taking them off becomes...

    Hi Cam, Looking good. Fwiw, I always leave fitting the cowl rings into the cowl, and mounting the cowl until after the hatch is completed (up through glassing and finish sanding).

    Buddy, Downloading and reading the rulebook is great, but downloading the rulebook, viewing the online judging series, and attending a judging school is even better ;-) And all of those things are easily accomplished: http://www.mini-iac.org/Event-Details/PID/231 - the National Judging School...

    Most of this is accurate, but it is an outdated doc. Partial point / hesitation rolls are now denoted as 2 x 4, 4 x 8, etc as opposed to 2/4, 4/8, etc.

    Full scale ELECTRIC Extra

    A 260KW / 350 hp electric most definitely has smoke in there somewhere... but I wouldn't want to be the guy responsible for letting it out.

    Unless ZDZ has changed their mount pattern since the days of the Super 160 (and they may have) they have the same mounting dimensions as DA 150 - 200. You just have to accomodate for the the rear carb configuration. I used to use SWB mounts with ZDZs with out issue.

    Looks great Primo! Hopefully you're one of the fortunate ones, but keep a very close eye on that G'tech main gear. Check the center section on a regular basis...like about every 15 minutes.
