Gear

I don't even have a clue where my LG came ftom. As a scratch builder I tended to collect stuff. Crashed planes, swap meets. Anything that fits. My Prime Cut 20 has the LG from a 4*120 ARF on it.

This old design was developed for IMAC, not 3-D. The reason for the added mod just in front is because it's the weakest point in the plane and installing an engine bigger then the original .60 two...
