Look around your house, many little things could be modified! By Thomas J. Mc Harry

"I used cheap household objects (a plactic core from a Scott Tape roll) to build a quck release engine mount. I have had good luck with it. It will allow the Graupner 280 4:1 gearbox to slide out rather than breaking the mount off the carbon fiber. ...My I.F.O. was snap to build and even easier to fly. The I.F.O. is a blast ...Thank you for making the I.F.O. such a great plane to fly!"
