Mine has an OS 1.20, 17x6 Vess prop and a beer bottle pipe. ABSOLUTELY UNBELIEVABLE POWER!!

These are great airplanes and you'll certainly love it! Let us know how it flies!

Status: offline 		Thanks, ya it is a GMS 120 with a wooden 17x4. I flew it today, and am going to have to say the best flying plane I got. the 120 has loads of power. Thanks OMP for another great Slab

Status: offline 		Well, here is my ARF YAK 55 in flight. Bought it as a combo with the YS 1.10 at the Toledo Show last month. After breaking in the engine and enforcing the motor mount area I'm completely happy with it. Telepathic control: you think what you want it to do and there it goes...
Seriously, the flight characteristics are so balanced, it makes any idiot look good (not that I'm in that category).

Congrats and I'm sure none of your flying buddies ever thought that of you to begin with. Now you can show off all day long!
