You will be happy with the .25 for maybe a day and then realize that a .40 will be much more fun. The .25 will struggle on pulling out of a hover. Up to you though.

Status: offline 		Here is my rebuilt SPA3D v.2 after a lawn dart landing last week.




Replaced the OS .40 LA with this monster. OS .61 MAX w/ 7D Carb ( Thanks to a flying buddy of mine that gave it to me newly rebuilt. What a guy! ) This thing hovers extremely well at just under 1/2 throttle. The plane is a bit heavy so I had to add weight to the rear. The plane is probably weighing in around 6~7 LBS.

Status: offline 		Same dimensions as Tatoo's plans state. Only changes are the dual aileron servos and a bigger engine to boot =). I will try to get some video this weekend if the rain doesn't show it's ugly face. From my last oops last weekend, I had to rebuild all the coro. I must have hit the deck nose down doing 50 or so. Never take your eyes off the plane for a second.

This plane does it all folks. Tatoo has designed a winner. This thing does Knife Edges, Torque Rolls, Hover, Harrier, just about anything you can throw at it. My project plane has not been touched since building these nor has my other plane. Thanks Tatoo.

Status: offline 		I am also feeling the project plane problems. Tattoo you've done a great job. My Uncle stopped by and showed me some video of some flying he saw on the road. It just turned out it was you and the boys in Kansas. I couldn't believe it. I'm the only one in the family that like rc planes so he stopped to video it for me. Small world.

keep up the great work.

Craig

Holy cow that's cool!!! When was it and what we're we flying? I remember talking to someone who was taking video at Beach field...oh man, must have been about 3 or 4 months ago when we were flying (Testing) PQHOR's.

Also. I am trying to find a free download for the creepy font with no luck. Can you tell me where you found it? Thanks.

Thank for the video Craig!!!! I remember it well and Sassy remembers talking to your uncle while I was flying! No real great flying, but a little slice of Spad history there for sure! It was in Febuary, very cold, very windy, and I was doing well just to keep the plane in the air...but what your uncle caught on tape was the QHOR maiden voyage! How cool!
