Sporthawk-Power Train Change

Change of plans. The Double Star 40 turns out to be an engine that is set up at the factory in Moldova to be mounted either inverted or upright. Since the Sporthawk is a profile, I decided to use another engine. The Leo 25 turned out to be the choice. Dual ball bearings, ABC, and Schnuerle. Plenty of power. This one is equipped with a J'en venturi from Just Engines. I broke it in today with about 30 minutes run time on the ground divided into ten runs for heat cycling as part of the break-in. Now the Sporthawk is truly ready to fly.
