    Sorry there are no pictures yet but the blue tooth connection on my pc has disappeared I will try to get some put up soon. Engine is now fitted including the spacers to allow for the exaste and prop clearance. Home made throttle is done. Half the wiring is in. I had to cut nearly all of the back (engine side) out of the fuel tank and fit a flatter piece in to clear the spark plug (have you ever tried plastic welding AAAAHHHHHHHHH) I am hoping to have it up and running for the 12/13 training day Pete b
