If he has built it like mine, and I have no reason to believe otherwise, the side thrust is built in to the bulkhead, Beard. Taxi trials have shown that is is certainly built into mine

The first problem I encountered was the bolts to hold the horns on were to small,some searching found some suitable replacements,but then I couldnt find my Z bend pliers,last time I used them was Xmas day.Eventually found them in the car tool box where they shouldnt be and so Ive fitted the aileron horns and connected up the push rods.Also fitted the elevator horn and pushrod.Ive also fitted a bolt to act as a handle to lift the battery lid off need to camorflage it.

Ive needed to spend time adjusting the motor mount to bring the motor forward enough for the prop and spinner to be far enough forward to clesr the cowl.The mount has unusual size allen bolts so it took a bit of searching to find an allen key to fit.I now have to carve the inside of the cowl more to clear the mount.I couldnt comlete this until the prop adaptor arrive and I received it this morning.I also received a suitable pilot but he needs modding to fit also.

Well I think I can put my part of this thread to bed.
I maidened the Hurricane Tony built for me today. I had 4 flights with it and it flys a dream. A little underpowered, but that is not down to Tony. No trim changes were needed, and i am so chuffed with it. It looks like a real one in the air.

Thanks Tony for a super job done, couldnt be more pleased
