Nice job Dick, she looks great... and certainly plenty of power.
Judging by the vid's you should try adding a little right rudder to throttle mix.
It'll help you out with that left yaw at higher throttle settings.
Once it's dialed in, they are capably of surprizingly precise aerobatics.
That reminds me, as a child in England during the early 60's I used to stand at the bottom of our garden spell bound as the crop sprayers (almost all ex RAF) put on the most beautiful (and completely over the top) turn around aerobatics at the end of each spray run. Either flexing the muscle or easing the bordom or... just remembering the days , 25 odd years previously.
LOVED it!

Dick,
What size prop are you using on your pawnee? I am considering getting one of the models, how much room was in the cowl with the engine you used?
Nice looking plane Dick, cant wait to see a few more videos. Thanks Mark

I used an apc 22-8 prop and only the carb neck sticks out the side of the cowl. I used a JTEC Pitts muffler made for warbirds and it fits great.
But the plane needed 8 ounces of lead at the tail post due to the weight of the G-62. If I didn't have that engine sitting on the shelf, I would have used a lighter 50cc engine and avoid the extra weight.

It looks great!! Thanks for posting it. I have one of these ARF's I got in a trade and plan to start on it this comming week. I have everything I need to outfit it. I am planning to go with a Turnigy RotoMax 50cc Size Brushless Outrunner Motor. I hope to do some glider tug work with it. I guess time will tell.

Nice looking plane. I was wondering only after a few flights I see you have it for sale. Did you not like the way it fly's?. I know I have built planes and some just seem to fly like they are on rails and some seem they just don't feel right.
