    Status: offline     		I decided to go with a Saito 72 instead. It just fit better back there and sould swing a three balded prop easily. If that dosen't give me what I want I can alway do a little surgery and put in the 75 2S. I also have a 91 2S In another plane that could move over is necessary.

    A 4-stroke in a jet-ish plane?

    Dude, that's wrong, just plain wrong :-)

    Status: offline     		Well I'll tell ya, anything other than a turbine on a jet is kinda back woods isn't it. I think the real dirver on this one was the big 2 stroke muffler sticking the wrong way. I just like look of the four stroke on the plane better and the 72 should swing the 3 blade 11-7 without any problems.

    Status: offline     		now i have never flown a jet with a 4s, but to each there own, and as we are all in this for fun! that's what it's all about!, right????
    i think as long as it gets off the ground and fly's he's cool,
    (good to go), it will sound funny, kinda like a small flying tug, but it will look like the rest, very cool.
    just sound funny!

    the plane looks great best of luck BASSMAN.

    Status: offline     		Bassman, I like it. I think four strokes sound killer and I do like the idea of the muffler. I have a saito 100 that would fit nicely on the back of one of these. I just wish I could find like a 10X10 pusher or 11X9 pusher. I had a saito 91 with a high pitch prop and that mustang was just as fast as my Shrike with my rossi on it. The only problem is the limited selection of pusher props. I emailed APC about it and have yet to hear from them. I would be cool if they would make some high pitched ones.


    I do have a few of these kits, one has a Rossi 45 on it, the others are back up. However, i think one with the saito 100 would be cool.

    Status: offline     		it looks like Zinger has an 11x10 pusher that would be a good match for the Saito 100. Might have to try that.

    Status: offline     		How have you guys been handling the take down of the Bobcats for transport? Are you removing the booms only? Are you leaving the booms on the wings and taking the wings off? It makes a difference in how I set up the servo extensions coming off the boom servos. I really like to keep the connections to a minimum when I can.
