I believe the span will be 97" and of course it will be a two piece wing with a wing tube attachment.........not sure if the wing braces are functional........probably not, considering the wing tube attachment.

The first prototype and this one should weigh within ounces of each other.......the first one was flown with a G-26 (Zenoah), and it flew well but, most of us would probably prefer more power..........so, I'm gonna say it is in the 14lb range........give or take a pound.........

Probably it will have very similiar statistics to the Decathlon as far as weight and engine requirements........

Pricing was rumored to be at $399 earlier this year............however........that very well could change as the value of the U.S. dollar goes in the toilet........hope not

When Dan says it's ready for the market, I suggest you get your name in early.......this plane is going to be very popular for a long time.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the info.

Status: offline 		Yeah, the 2.4 should be a good fit. The 1.80 Saito single probably has close to the same power as the 2.4 quad.

Status: offline 		RCGUYS web site should have an Ag Wagon section before Christmas...........Dan figured you should be able to see and read the vital statistics in 2 - 3 weeks....

As soon as the Ag Wagon section is up and running you will be able to place your advance order and secure one of the first available airframes...........Availability is projected to be mid to late February with a target price of $439.

Should be perfect timing to get one built and ready to fly before spring.........you all are so lucky............
