face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff>I have a Temptation built and I'm finishing
it now. I have the 1.60FX in mine. I ran this combo in a Focus for about 30
gallons of fuel and I have been very happy. The cut out was mostly in the belly
pan and only a small part in the fuse. I did not feel it weakened the fuse at
all. I thought about the rotation idea but I was not sure of any downsides to
this idea. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Hope to have it ready to fly in a month or so. I have a second Temptation kit I
picked up when the price went down, I plan on setting it up with a 1.60 as well.
The price on the 1.60 is hard to beat!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Temptation<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm wrestling with a decision of the OS 1.40
or 1.60 going into a pair of Temptations. I was playing around with the
fit of the 1.60 tonight and it looks like it could all fit without a side cutout
for the wrap around header, with maybe a 15 degree rotation of the engine to
squeeze it all in. The 1.40 would no doubt be easier (if I could ever get
my hands on one or two).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't really mind making the cutout if I have to,
but it looks like it would require cutting into a section that would be critical
to keeping the nose stiff for the nose ring. I could patch it up around
it... Decisions, decisions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyone ever make this combo work before? How
did it all go together? Any pics available?</FONT></DIV>
