There's a guy looking to do flames on his plane in the tips and techniques forum. I told him to do a search for Termagator/Gator.......

well let me tell you guys...better get intouch with SWANY casue this is gonna be one GREAT 3D MACHINE!.
The conditions sux'd today for flying and takeing pics, but still got in 3 flights......its a floater,,,it flies so lite. loops like an unlimited FF plane, very little roll coupleing one way on KE and no roll coupleing the otherway, may have had something to do with the winds?, the motor is a brand new Webra50 and this webra has got me going around with a sack to pick up rocks to throw at my other engines
, its a little sloppy in transition, but its only had about 25oz of fuel run thru it....I took several pics of it flying, but my camera was set on the wrong exposure and most of the flying pics came out blurry, but heres a few of Paul , then Jess flying it...Gator

This carbon boom thing is going to revolutionize the way profiles are built. It is so easy, lite weight and so durable. Fuse break is a thing of the past.

Cool beans!! That Pauly..what are we gonna do with him??
A word on the Webra..Make DANG sure you don't screw the low needle in too much or you'll bell the end of the spray bar. At least the TN carb on the .32's was bad about this. They work great, but you need to have the top leaned in to set the idle/transition.
Toboggans, coats?? What, it got down to 60??

Thanks for the info, guys. ~$70 with S&H, man, that's a pretty good deal. Ideally, what make and size engine would any of you out there strap onto this baby if you had your druthers (and $150 or less to do so)? Are mini or micro servos necessary? How many? I'm sure the answers to these questions are obvious to many of you, but, like I said, I'm the new guy on the block. So, help a newbee out! Thanks again in advance.

I think I'd use that 10 dollar shipping charge to go pick one up at the field (just to watch those guys fly!!!) It'll be worth it I guarentee!

drbutton,
This thing is so light it would probably 3D wtih a 32-40 size engine...but a good BB 46 would be optimum. This one has a webra 50 which has insane power...as far as the servos go, you could put smaller servos, but I'm running just standard size HiTec 475HB's and a 6V 1000mah battery pack
