Such a shame Top Flite no longer. This a fantastic model.

Awesome work when will u post a vid of it flying?

[@brianroberts5062]

Can you advise what the actual Cowl size is? I am looking to do something similar but with the new Saito 5 cyl 73R5 cc its 5 cm larger in radius that the 60R3. Would that fit the cowl?

There is about 5mm clearance between the front of the number one cylinder valve covers and the cowl. Best regards.

@@NitroHouse Thanks for that. I miss wrote, its 5mm not 5cm. Doh a typo. So it should just fit if I opened up the cowl flaps. I think it's worth a try. Cheers
