Scale Project

[Philip Martin]

So, I'm just about to plant a set of X-Cell Pro mechanics into a Funkey Long
Ranger fuse.

On the Century site it say's that whilst an SE,ST will fit, a Pro will
require some modification!

I guess it will all start to become clear once the fuse arrives, but in the
mean time does anyone know what 'modifications' will be required to match
the two up?

It's likely to be in the cabin/radio crate "interface" Phil. The Pro mechs
are slightly bulkier up front than the SE/ST spec, but a man of your
"caliber" shouldn't have any real problems.

Ahhh, a bar of chocky and the Dremil in hand should do it:o)

I'll let you know what cunning plan I come up with.

Another point is to check the length of your tailboom as some heli's require
a longer tailboom when fitting into a scale Fuz.

Thanks for that Mark, but I don't have a problem there. I have several booms
available for chopping and joining and a couple of torque tubes with the
older style removable ends, so that problem should be well sorted.

Just received confirmation that the fuse will arrive tomorrow, so the fun
starts soon:o)

I hope you have as much fun as I am having doing mine, currently doing a
Scale Bell 230UT to be fitted onto Kalt Mechanics...taking my time over the
Winter so it should be nice ready for next year.
