My new project is using the Harbor Freight Predator 670. Starting to get running like i want with carbs and all instruments working. using Dual carbs on back of cylinder heads to eliminate carb icing. They are PWK28’s but having trouble getting floats set to where fuel not going over overflows. Getting some oil out the vent. Using Ace Aviation redrive with Warp Drive ground adjustable prop. At present setting getting 3600 rpm on engine. More work and fine tuning to come.

In process of building fuel tank for new project. It will mount overhead between spar attachments. Using .040 soft aluminum. Tig welding end of flanges turned out. So far so good. Will have fill on top of wing in front, drain with finger strainer in rear and two fuel lever hose fittings on side. I am running way behind on posting about what is happening. just getting started on the predator 670 engine side.

Method to locate control stick on middle of fuselage for rigging ailerons.
