Status: offline 		Spad's can be a heck of a lot of fun. Watched the video, and it represents the fun we have with them. I built a Spad Debonair with a flat wing and conventional gear, and flew the crap out of it. Was it a "dog"? Yes, it was. Could I fly it and do loops, fly inverted, do stall turns, half Cuban eights and have fun all afternoon? Yes, I did. So I think everybody should at least try one. They're not a perfect solution to model RC aircraft, but they are a lot of fun. And they are economical . Try one and have fun.

Status: offline 		I have... It is WAY underpowered. I could only get about 15,500 rpm with a 8x3 mas. With 15% nitro.
I've heard if you drill out the exhaust and the carb you can get up to the power of the os la. I have never tried that.

Status: offline 		Wow, what a heart pounding wild ride for my maiden. Not sure if I was flying it or just avoiding the ground. So much fun I flew it a total of five times. What a fun little flier. Bank and crank, bank and crank. What a blast.
