Mike most real flappers have just one bolt that holds them together. In my opinion by putting two in it like you have you got it to long. I would suggest that you try to shorten it a little and just use one bolt it possible.
The general shape of it look spot on thought good work. ~Mike~ |

Re: Daycab,drinking,magic and oh yeah rain caps....
Version 2.0 of the rain caps look incredible. Very nice work. I'd paint them black. They get sooted up pretty quick on the 1:1 machines. Now you need an air pump, hooked the motor ESC, so as you give throttle, the caps will open up. I always liked the 'ting, ting' noise the rain caps make on an engine that is idling, as they flap up and down.
