With the air tank already in the wing instead of the fuse, i thought I'd try this..... no valves to connect/leak, just a servo to plug in....

Assuming there's enough room there.

Will 2.4 negate any problems from those wires? or am I going to have tons of interference??

Well now....
getting another engine that allowed the rear exhaust crated a whole whack of stuff Hit Palm

that "voided" a lot of the inside and front progress I'd made...anyway...new rear muffler set-up wouldn't allow the simple straight line choke I'd set up. AND, there's really not much room in the fuse for either another servo or a 90 deg bell crank..these chinese "arfs" should come with your own factory worker who has small hands to get inside.. Im Happy

SO - ignition is above the tank, (beneath in the attached pic) in front of the former you can see - single battery is in a box that goes right to the firewall and is held in with velcro.

along the top of the tank you can see a red nyrod with a piece of yellow flex bending around the back of the tank, running across to the other side of the fuse..inside the yellow tube is steel cable attached to the choke. It exits the side of the fuse beside the wire for the on/off switch....bit stiff, but does work Smiley

Now that THAT seems resolved, I find the retract system isn't holding air anymore... Wall Bash

Well, way too much gap behind spinner - price to pay for no muffler cut out on the side of the cowl I guess. Might be able to play games with stand offs and washers... Beating A Dead Horse

On the other hand, choke isn't too obtrusive on the side.... it may help when I paint it. Actually gonna see if there is a smaller collar available...like on that's tighter on the cable..
