Status: offline 		The weather was not bad today so I got the first flight in before the sun went down, seems to fly good, airlon trim was dead on, elevator needed some down trim which is typical on most of these old timers. Now I can finish the detail on the dash, got a 1/3  Ace of Iron pilot on order, and need to get couple machine guns.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCBrBlxSHOs

Status: offline 		Charlie, you know I had planed on using a G-62 when I started this project, but ended up installing a Q-75 becuase I got a good  deal on couple larger used engines..   My impression after I made the first flight was that I did not need the Q-75 in it after all.. That is my friend making the second flight while I worked the camera, he likes it with the Quadra 75,, the big thing is that with a G-62 it would be hard to put it through all the areobatic manuvers he likes to fly, like the rolls without loosing altitude..  I think it well be ok either way, keep us all posted on which way you go, George.

Status: offline 		That is what I am thinking Charlie, not $32, I got billed $39 each, not shure what it was with postage, well over  $70, threw the bill away in the trash quick so I would not be reminded, sure looks like inflation is taking hold of prices and the wages keep going down for new hires..
