If I had fuel I could fire it up.
Hope it last more than the 7flight Fusion 50 HE HE
I sold off the Lipos to the Fusion and bought 2 full airframes for spare parts

Looks awesome. I'm curious to know how much it cost you to get set up with the fuel management system and the other accessories that go with nitro engines. It looks like quite an investment to get started???? I guess you find someone selling their equipment??

They sure sound bad AZZ!!!!

Yes Building a new kit they cost out the butt
I bought this airframe and engine second hand and got a smoking deal on it
The engine and pipe a loan new $470.00
So it cost a lot to build one

Fuel based models are very expensive. I am still considering a gasser but I need to finish getting my kit together. I still need a decent charger and radio. As for gassers I am looking at Gaui NX4G. Its the NX4 airframe with the Gaui gasser motor instead of the nitro motor. Fuel has longer flight times also.

So I played around with trying to make the governor work in the mini K Bar and its a no go Just not enough channels for it work like I want
I cant even Use a separate governor like the aline No channel to turn it on and off .
So next is to piggy back a RX to get the extra channels well than that means I have to buy a 7 or 8 channel RX any were from 50 to 100 for the rx
So got to looking they now have the full size K bar out. It will run the built in governor with just the back plate sensor and its only 43.00
Well thats on the way . The main blades are on the way . Now the weather stinks here. Maybe a wile before it gets in the air
