Information place a carburetor was indicated to me by friend Forum 1 / 2A NUT. I made the experience and the result was spectacular, then on that idea occurred to me to put a carburetor that does not take up space along, so that way it can be placed in a model without problems. A hug, Mauricio.

Well here the premiere of the Snark 5T next to Cox Sportsman .15.
Everything was a success! I am happy with the result.
On the model I can say it is an excellent design, perfect fly, without vices, I did not have to touch any point trim, firm went totally right and even I had the pleasure of flying it invested thanks to putting on fins. Invested also flies very well thanks to their profile, which makes it perfectly support that position.
It was very successful place ailerons, since the model lends itself perfectly to perform basic aerobatics.
It is highly recommended for beginners because of its simplicity of construction and great performance on the flight, they make it stand coaching model. Of course it is a model of time, but I understand that those who possess or have ever flown, will agree that is a great model.
The engine is something that stands out, as the history of this engine, years, adaptation to radio control, adaptation of a traditional glow plug and all this with excellent results running and reliability, they do emphasize my point view as mechanical part of a great design, you can see in the video, like the whole works, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy it.
A hug to everyone, Mauricio.-

I am happy with your maiden flight.

Your maiden flight was excellent. The model flys just a good as it looks, and it looks good!  Thanks for the video.

Very good flyer !! The sportsman sounds good and takes little power to keep in the air , impressive snap rolls for that style of plane . Looks like a lot of FUN to fly , I think the improvements you did to it really made a better flyer than intended . On a successful maiden. Eric

That was one excellent maiden flight! I was impressed with the level inverted flight not to mention the Pink Floyd accompaniment.

You definitely have a unique Sportsman there.

Engine runs very well and pulled the plane with good authority.
The craft flew like a larger 40 size trainer with your great flying skills,
Bravo Mauricio I give it a thumbs up!!!

Thank you for your kind comments!
