I saw this plane at Joe Nall at a display booth and was blown away. It is an awesome looking plane and the quality is spectacular for an ARF. If you could build the TF kit this well and make it look that good and do it in the lenghth of time it takes you to assemble this ARF my hat is off to you. I would think a Saito 1.50/1.80 would be perfect for this plane. Tommy

Motor is at home and the plane is out here at work, It came here today. I am sure it will take a lot of work to get it to fit. and It might be to heavy. It is just on hand. I bought it for the GP 1/3 scale Pitts. Still sitting on the shelf. their is 2 shaft lengths for the fuji. Do you know what spinner is used on the box kit? it is good looking. kit looks good with the 3 blade prop. Dennis PS: Enclosed a photo of my Top Flite Skylane It took almost 2 years, to build.

Hey Dmyers0403, I sold my 120 and just came home with my new Saito 180. Will be plenty of power. I'm thinking my Cessna is going to come out at around 15 lbs. I ordered my Tru-turn 3.25 inch ultimate spinner from tru- turn today. They are making it just for this kit. Gotta be a scale Cessna spinner to look right. What servos you boys using? I got Coreless JR 8101's all the way around.

Excellant choice on engine and servos. My saito 180 is very smooth, powerful and reliable. It does like fuel but is a great engine. The Saito was my original choice since I had it but my friend and I decided to both use the gas-starter setup (about 2.5 lbs heaver). I have several of the new Hitec 475BB @ 61 oz-4.8v which I will use and a couple of Hitech 605BB @ 74oz - 4.8v The JR8101 is a much better servo. Sounds like you will have one sweet plane. I am attempting to get Olen's plane together first then mine. Olen would like to use his in June for the KC scale qualifier.

I see you are from Lees Summit? Do you ever make it to the KC scale qualifier? Our bunch is going in June - Hope to have one of the Cessnas at event. If you make it - you can't miss us - We have on all red with the logo "Bare Hill Gentlemans Club"
Hey demyers0403; Thats a pretty slick engine starter combo your friend made there.Does he just do work for your club or does he have drawings for sale or? SteveD
I am form Lees'Summit, Missouri. That is a very nice starter, It is simlar to the one on the Fuji. I hope others step and produce General Avation Models of this size and Quality. Hanger 9 hit a Grand Slam with this Kit. Dennis
