Status: offline 		if you got the motor use, but you will be under power, the minimum is a 45CC or 40CC. the plane is heavy and need a heavy engine in the nose.

Status: offline 		Use the 18X8 prop and keep that prop, do not go bigger. Even do the engine can have a bigger prop. With this engine you will balance Ok without the nessesity of lead in the front. Install battery in the engine box for balass, you plane will be abaut 13 LBS all finish and will be a super airplane to fly. You'll see.

Status: online 		I wouldn't waste any money on this plane, too heavy. I replaced mine with the Aeroworks 1.20 size Yak 54, much lighter, better built and flys great witH AN os 160. Unlimited verticle, great snaps, hovers easy. Plus the QB go together very easy, nice kits.

Status: offline 		Well, he said its his first gasser, and this was my first gasser also! I learned alot from this plane, even though it was a tat bit heavier than I wanted it still flew like a champ! even with my little spe 26cc, No 3d or hovers though . I think you will be fine its good for the price and you can always upgrade later on down the road... I sold mine because I wanted something new, and with more power...

Status: offline 		Guy's this is a plane for fun, no for competision, have fun with it, you crash so what 200 dollars frame and the best is that you can tune your engine with this plane and them go to more expecive and better airframe but with a engine that you know is good.

Status: offline 		Mine flys really good, even if it is heavy.
Tracks straight and no coupling.
If you read my earlier post, I could not keep the prop off the ground.
Perfect balance, high rate on elevator, and full up, I still counldn't keep the tail on the ground.
Kept hitting the prop, plus using a 18" prop made it that much closer to the ground.
I had TNT Gear make me some taller, wider, and forward swept gear.
That was the best thing I could have done for this plane.
