Hey, this is a great airplane, But definitely go with a .61 or bigger engine. I flew mine with a .46 AX and it tokk all that motor had to fly PERIOD. But a .70 Four stroke was very scale in that plane. I see yours had the white under-belly, mine was all red with the White Sunburst. Dodge, If you look on tower you can find a pitts muffler for a super tiger .75/.90, they use the same one. I have a Pitts muffler for a super tiger .75 that was on a Great planes matt chapman cap 580 for three flights(Note to all listening, that plane has a wicked snap when flying a slow knife edge. Third flight I was just getting used to it so I tried a Knife at about half throttle, it snapped all the way to the ground) If your interested in the muffler, I'll make you a good deal. it just needs one of the pipes brazed back on, the brazing gave out when it hit the ground. PM me if you want it CHEAP. If you want to put smoke on it, I'd go with a .91 Four stroke or a saito .82, four strokes smoke better I think, plus the bigger they are, the more smoke you can get.!!!
Just my $0.02 worth

or should I say the servos mounts were to far out on the wing, so I had to attach some extensions on them. Other then that the build went pretty smooth. I decided to put a super tigre .75 in it.....slightly bigger then the recommended .46. So i had to replace the engine mount with a bigger one and add some weight to the tail to balance it after I was done building. The total build took me about a few hours. After i was done it looked pretty good. And yes i know the cowl isn't on straight.
