He said it would fly it but you would be spending most of the flight at 3/4 to full throttle and you could get into trouble if you need power quick.. a lot to think about so I may sideline this project for a bit. On a side note, sitting on the shelf there was a 15cc Hellcat ARF.. I did not know Horizon had put that out.. been doing the Harley thing all summer and have not flown this year. I am biked out so I am getting some planes around now but that would be an interesting project.
I'm working on a review on the 15cc, great flying little guy, looks good, only bummer is no flaps.
