That might leave you with 1/4" less area for the parachute in the forward offset tube. The open area for the 14" parachute is small.Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-8537052946115245442012-03-25T11:23:07.517-04:002012-03-25T11:23:07.517-04:00Hi CT,

I "overrode" the instructions, so to speak. I still had enough room for the gap cap in Step 12.<br />Good luck on this one, I've covered several of the "gotchas" throughout the blog posts.Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-44602812218990159642012-03-21T12:33:13.840-04:002012-03-21T12:33:13.840-04:00Hi CT,

Sorry, I'm on a cruise ship - I don't have the instructions with me right now. <br />Check back next week and I'll figure it out when I can get the model and instructions in my hand! There was mistakes in the instructions.Chris Michielssenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06907925631001358372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-85090943323736574292012-03-20T11:50:49.246-04:002012-03-20T11:50:49.246-04:00How did you handle the issue of MMT sticking out o...How did you handle the issue of MMT sticking out of intake tube? if i use the 4" from the instructions i end up with .25" of motor hanging out, not the .5" of MMT i see in the pic. on package ond in instructions. -CTCThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15466161759121356518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3612012025300219489.post-85700170166011056012011-07-24T17:10:09.858-04:002011-07-24T17:10:09.858-04:00Hi Jeff,
