Well done JP- I have toyed with going electric- but don't want to have to stock up multiples of 5cells- I already have lots of 6cell lipo's - and they don't fit that we'll. Have you seen the 60cc...

Thanks very much. Just spoke to IAD models here in the UK and I may be able to get the ZDZ 40cc with rear exhaust via special order. That can swing a 22 inch prop- so keeping my fingers crossed.

Just one more thought- we have a couple of companies nearby that make custom mufflers/exhausts. I wonder if by moving the gas engine muffler back and maybe more cannister in shape would help.
