In a case like this I mark the firewall with a ballpen ink tube only through the new engine mount and then using a keyhole file file it back to the desired position.

Is anyone still watching this thread? Only I have just picked up a new kit on Ebay and wondered if anyone has flown one with an ASP 61fs.

Hi all, I have just found this thread only because I have the opportunity to get one as a local family have just cleared their fathers shed and have asked me to help them sell all the items. A new MR FW190 kit is among it all. looking forward to getting it as I have an SC91fs sitting idle and a pair of leccy retracts. Phil

Thanks Tommy, I did in fact find one befor eseeing your reply, it is though a P&W 2800R wasp twin radial. Still looks as good and the effect you get is amazing, thanks for the idea. Phil

Hi Tommy, I know its been a while since your last post but I have just started mine and wondered if you could email me the image of the radial you used.

I see you are using a CRRC26, what prop are you turning? Because of this thread and that I have a spare CRRC 26 V2 I will now have to get one.

I think that this model should follow others in the range, so my suggestion is   "Bustle"

Thanks for the info Owen, had another look at it last night and i still cant understand how my Son and I missed the problem, especially as we both fly Raptors!!!!. The top rotors have been fitted with two different blades, meaning that one has its trailing edge facing forward   so the only lift i was getting was from the lower rotor.  Ho hum, lesson learnt.

Hi guys, Having been given a CX2 for Christmas, i have found that I can only get the thing to hover about two inches off the ground. I have tried 3 different 2s lipos, all give the same performance (poor).  Any ideas?.

Ben, Do you have a Watt meter you can use, this will give you an idea of the current draw on your setup, my Emax 2812 on 3s lipo and 7x5 APC"E" draws a little under 10A for 98W, fitted to my Concept models Shark "E" is very fast and fully aerobatic.  If you aim for an all up weight of 12ozs or less it will fly well, however try an APC 8x6. Phil

Hi Ben,  This won't matter unless you have a problem with the alignment of spinner / prop to the nose of the model (too long). I have many Emax motors and run them like this, you can cut the shaft down if needed, but take care with how you grip whilst cutting. Which model is the motor destined for? as this motor is very powerfull when used with an APC"E" 7x5 and 3s.  Phil

Hi Jon,  This is to be a fun model for me and to train others with on days at the club that only permits electric flying, as you might realise i am a little further on than being a tyro pilot. Having said that the E Pioneer is a new inovation of suitable travel companions for holidays, and I want to be able to demonstrate it to new flyers who may not want to go down the nitro route. Heres hoping it flies as well as all of my other models.  Phil

Well guys, Having only just found this thread and read with interest your thoughts and ideas, i would like to add my pennies worth. I too have a Seagull "E" Pioneer in the hanger waiting its turn on the bench, it will be powered by an Emax 2826 06 and have an Emax 60A ESC, I already have the Vmar X-treme stick powered by this combination on a 4s 3200 lipo turning an APC "E" 13x6.5 prop. This model takes off very quickly and goes up at 45 degrees and I get between 7 and 10 mins of flying depending on throttle use. So I think this combo with a 12x8 on 4s and 12x6 on 3s will be perfect for the E Pioneer. I will let you know how things turn out, I have in hand a couple of light 4000 3s lipos and if i get balance ok i might put both in in parallel and have 8000 on tap, should give some duration dont you think

One day my time will come, hohum.

Love to have this, as it would be my 15th Wot 4 and will replace my aging trainer used in the club.
