It's a good thing you got her down! Hate to see that one go in! Are you going to paint it? What scheme? Also try a Zenoah G-45 Should give good "Scale" power.. If you want a tad more go with the G-62. Good Luck!

It was painted up before, all worn off now, the plane is 15 years old, just got around to flying it today.. Doub't we'll go get another engine for it, its really too big to be flying, it isn't that much fun at all, very lazy, and those wooden struts just break anyway, may get some aluminum struts.
