Status: offline 		How does this plane handle with an OS 46WX 2 stroke? Since it's short coupled how does it handle on the ground? Does it have any bad habits?

Status: offline 		I had one for a couple of flying seasons. I loved it! Put flaps and a Magnum .46, flew great. Wing tips, cowl and wheel pants are vac formed abs plastic and very thin. I used these parts and reinforced them with fiberglass applied with pvc cement. This plane is very solid and fast. Just a touch of tail wiggle at higher speeds, other than that it hides the fact thati it is short coupled. Sadly I lost the plane to elevator flutter.

It is a small plane that acts much larger and will handle wind well. Built it!

Status: online 		I bought mine built from an estate sale. Excellent flyer. The wing was built without flaps, it has 46FX with Pitts muffler. Flies fast. Be careful when turning. Don't bank too much or the nose will drop on you. At least mine does.

You will like it.
