Status: offline 		Last year i build a 1/3 scale taube from Balsa USA, enjoyed it so much this year thought i would build a 1/2 scale for a winter project. When i saw the OS Dia-Star IL-300 the plan came togerther. It will not be a Top Gun plane but it should be nice and sound realistic, the frame work is about finish and the cg is right. Enjoy the pics. dave

Thanks,

Status: offline 		Had a successful flight today in about 10 mph wind didnt seam to matter. Expected more power from the engine but had it rich (being new) so that should inprove. Landing was nice and soft and no trim was needed for the flight, however may be a little tail heavy need some more time with it to tell, but flys realisticly. enjoys the pic. dave
