Status: offline 		Building is pretty straight forward. It only took me a few evenings. You can see the pics of my sons airplane in the previous post. I was dissapointed in the finish, it had quite a few wrinkles and took some effort to get them out. I had to add about 6 ounces of lead to get it to balance correctly. I also had to mount the receiver battery on the side of the motor mount inside of the cowling. I used Hitec hs485hbs with HD Dubro arms and they have plenty of torque. I think the 485's are the best deal going in servos at $16.99. I did upgrade the control horns only because the Dubro 4/40 bolt type only require 1 hole and are easy to install and adjust. The plane is better at precision aerobatics than at 3D and can be a handful to fly. It comes in hot for landings. Watch your throws on the ailerons it does not take much. All that being said my 11 year old son has not had any mishaps in about 20 flights. Please keep me posted on how yours goes together and flies.

Status: offline 		I have this plane as well, I have a OS55ax with pitts muffler, I have not flown it yet and I don't mind telling you I am nervous! The thing I am unsure of is prop size, I have 11x7 o it now, I ran a few tanks and it seems to pull ok, I also have a 12x4, does anyone have a recomended prop size for this engine? I was also thinkin 12x6. Also I pulled the pilot out and added an oz of weight to the firewall, I believe the pilot weighs around 3oz and is right on the trailing edge of the wing, try throwing it on the ballencer without the canopy, that canopy is really back heavy with the pilot in it, I never checked my all up weight yet ...
