Status: offline 		Looking for a next project to start next year. (I plan a little ahead ). Anyway, thinking about the Don Smith A-26. One of my softspots. Got fired up again this weekend watching Spirit of Waco fly. It was parked right behind our booth. Just love the sound of those radical cam loping engines, I digress. What size engines work in the Don Smith 105" A-26. I have a pair of Saito 1.20's. Enough? I want to be able zoom pretty good. Not unreasonable mind you. Just attention getting.

Don Smith 105" A-26 Invader.

I just got one of these beauties in a terade and are currently "gold plating" all of the systems before I fly it. I was told ir flys great as is but I firmly believe in the concept of "Trust...but Verify"

So..., can any one tell me what the plans show for the CG and what the control throws should be. Mine is powered by twin G-38's and weighs about 38 lbs. dry.

Thanks in advance for any info given to me.
