Crane

Appointment fixed for next week to straighten the chassis, the engine and gearbox must come out. A motor crane is a good thing to do so and RC-Machines has this little thing amongst theirs products. It can lift a ton with the shortest jib and still 250kg with the longest, far enough for a small engine like mine even with the gearbox attached.
The motor positioner helps balancing the weight and allows to keep the engine straight. Putting it in situ I noticed that the carbs could be damaged. Five bolts lesser and they were out of the way. Everything is ready now but I wait for the weekend to have my sons with me to do the demount. I never did it, they never did it, so it will be great fun to do it together... learning by doing. 
Cheers.
