Status: offline 		I have built a PT .60 with my 4yr. old to hopefully teach him to fly on one of these days and also for his younger brother. I do not want to go glow with this plane and was wondering if anyone has done a gas engine on a similiar sized plane. Span is 72" and I think it has 880+ squares of wing. I put lots of lightening holes in the h. stab and vertical stab along with a few in the back edge of the fuse to get rid of some of the excessive weight this build has. It is built solid for sure. Anyways, I have a G20 on a Dragon Lady with similiar wing area and it flies wonderfully....don't know if that would be too much weight on the front or not. DLE 20 or some other????? Opinions?

Thanks.

Status: offline 		Wow, thats cool. How are the in flight/landing manners and do you know what it weighs RTF? I have def. gotten more excited about finishing this thing now. Its all framed up and RTC. I guess though, I will need to redo the firewall as I installed blind nuts for the Saito .72 I was going to mount in it.
