Choice of plane? for US Engines 41
I have a great running US Engines 41. I previously had it in a Byron Originals Pipe Dream. Any suggestions for another fun fly type of plane that would go well with this engine? I really don't need an aerobatic plane (Extra, etc) just a fun fly type.
Thank you.
PS. I was unable to get replacement parts for the Pipe Dream from Iron Bay. I placed an order over one month ago. Phone calls and emails requesting an order status have gone unanswered.

Take a look at the Prime Stik. http://www.airflair.com/flaircat1.html#PrimeSport I flew mine with a G38. Sold it to a friend, who put a US 41 on it. It flew well with both motors. The construction isn't complicated, even if you haven't done a foam wing before. Price is reasonable, and you won't see another one at the field.

I think the Band B system would fit in the Prime Sport, but I don't think your US 41 would fly it very well.
The Prime Sport, although similar in design, builds heavier than the Prime Stik. I power my Prime Sport with a 4.2. Even with that motor. The Prime Sport required nose weight. The Prime Stik balanced with no additional weight using the G38 and US 41.
