Default Cyclic's F-20 maiden??

Three guys here have this plane with a Jett .50 and a couple with a YS.45. They both go around 125mph which is great for this altitude. However the YS.45 is a bit more of an adjustment pain than the Jett.50. Then ad a 9/7 or 9/8 apc, some 30%heli fuel and this thing will move! My F-20 had a Mvvs.Q500 which was suppos to haul this thing around with the others. It didnt. Also consider Kavan wheels.
*They are great when you come in to hot and need to slide sideways before hitting something. I also used Hobbico Retracts. It all works good. I also made custom decals which call it what it reall is, (An F-5E) The back end does give this away. Dual engine exhaust where as the F-20 was a single engine and has a round back end. Later-- Something else here i forgot
* Glass up that front end, The jett will really stress it out. Also do not use basic (great planes) engine mounting bolts. Need to find some high stress bolts somewhere. The guys here keep breaking them. (really)
