I actually bought two, but in a weak moment sold one to a flying buddy. DAG I finished mine in Oct of last year and it's a beaut! I love this plane. I replaced wood where I could and built it light. It as Moki 1.35 and has plenty of power at 9lbs 2oz. That gives it a wing loading of 22oz/in. Flies nice and slow with nice inverted elevators etc. I have some other pictures on my site at http://www.****/pages/bobnj/ on the planes page. What kind of flying do you like, and how much does this one weigh?

Don't know what the planes weight is but I do know who built it. He was a builder for Ohio R/C for many years till he started his own building enterprize and it very good at it.
Think I am going to get it if it isn't gone. What would be the minimum engine for 3D Bob?
The reason I ask the guy has a 91FX for sale too.

Status: offline 		I got the plane and the motor yesterday Bob.
The plane built and all the hardware were about the price of the kit but he can't find the cowl. I may have to get another one. Any Ideas?

The 91fx has just a couple flights on another plane. He said try it and see if it works on the Freedom but mounting it will be some work. If it does we can make a deal.

"My first reaction is that it might be light for the type of flying you like."
You mean light in power or overall plane weight?

I am calling the original owner to see Bob

What about the 91FX anyone?

On the bright side there is a never opened kit in his shop I may be able to deal him out of
