Firewall Solution: Building a Giant Scale RC Airplane from a pile of wood

Follow
Dan Gellner

EP 42: We don’t need no stinking hatches!!!

A visit to Mark’s shop gives me a eureka/epiphany moment, and saves me a bunch of unnecessary work on the front box of the Rebel. This is the perfect way to make those wires that need to pass through the firewall to the engine without compromising the integrity of the firewall/nose box. Also answers to some viewer questions. And I replay that clip of kitty that many of you missed from the last video. Silly early bailers!!!!
