Bought a big box of Bergen bits, behold, it appears to be mostly Gasser stuff so I am thinking I may be able to build up another bird! A few questions,
1. Am I insane? I have probably 75% of the parts but will the other 25% be enough to break the bank?
2. What Zenoah gasser engine is the preferred one, G23 or G26, or what's the difference?
3. The two lower frames look unlike any I have seen, front part seems to curve forward more than the current listing. Any ideas what these frames fit? I could post a photo if I can figure out how.
4. Would a gas mechanics fit the 60- class fuselages on the market? How do the sizes compare to say an older X-cell 60 mechanics?
Still working on my Intrepid 90, progress slowed by a diversion into the world of Vespa scooters..and rebuilding my JR Ergo which decided to be overcome by a case of gravity.
Cheers,
Vincent

Well Chris Bergen should be around shortly. I will answer 2

1. I do not think Bergen stuff is THAT expensive.
2. Most people prefer the G23 although I have never had issue with my G26 some have.
