Dan,
do you know if on a built up fuse , side mount , with the G-51 , wether just slaming the tank centered in the bearers is ' wise ' or not so ,
Ive a few layouts , sidewinder ,( Like a F - 104 I almost pulled the drawings out last night for ) .
the G-51'd haul nicely. If I built em . But a removeable tank gets kinda awkward . So thats held me off .
( if a removable tank it almost makes more sense to put the engine inverted , unless ones really good at removeable tank hatch covers
)
I think our Kiwi Fox Frieds Missus has a profile sidwinder g 51 Cardinal , maybe Mr Wimmer will step in .
Jim ,
if the bolt holes are close , maybe theyd BOTh go in o.k. ,
p.s. you havnt lived untill youve tried a black Tornado 3 blade 10 x 6 on the G-51 . works a treat,
itll sound like its going to blow the top of the motor if you try the 10x4 3 blade . Lucky Ive got a G 40 & G 45 too
, same fit .
p.s. a 12 x 5 top flite wood trimmed to 11 5/8 " is likely better for milder living .
p.s.s. really cunning and you can get the whole fule load inside ( of ) the spraybar , with the stock intake . deep 4 stroke low , grunt up high .
