Prop: APC 13x6
Muffler: custom made Turbo-Header mufflers from RC Specialties (if you want more
information about the mufflers contact Jim from RC Specialties here )

HS85MG on rudders, JR DS821 digital reversed on nose gear, Hitec HS85MG on
retract valve, Hitec HS322HD on throttles
Receiver: Futaba 14 channel 2.4GHz
Retracts: Robart pneumatics, air up/down
On Board Glow Driver by Sullivan Products
Battery: Fromeco LiIon 5200mAh on radio, Fromeco LiIon 2600mAh for glow driver
A quick mock up to see what it will look like...
Completed tail section, ready for servos and linkages
Receiver and voltage regulator. I am using a single 5200 LiIon 7.4v battery from Fromeco to power the radio system.
Saito 62 ready to be mounted in the nacelle. I am using Hangar9 remote glow driver setup on both engines.
Sullivan on board glow driver - I've used the plugs from the Hangar9 remote glow driver to make quick and convenient connections. With the main wing attached no one will know the driver is there!
Engine mounted on the nacelle - notice the custom muffler - its a TurboHeader from RC Specialties - it will allow for much cleaner install and its also suppose to improve the sound and engine's performance... One modification needed was to move the cowls forward to accommodate the engine - to do that I glued some wooden blocks to the firewall - you can see one in the picture bellow, just behind the muffler...
