My Spadrastic
 
I put the wing on the bottom to make it easier to mount the muffler. I think it came out pretty good! There's an ASP .52 on the front.

Thanks! But I'm having some engine trouble so I haven't been able to maiden it. When the engine runs in the mid range for awhile and then I go WOT, it almost always dies. I don't know how to fix that. Any ideas?<div>

Is it a new engine?  The true chrome liners take a while to get broken in good.  Sometimes poor transition can be an air leak.  Put a little red RTV silicone around the backplate, head and carb throat and see what you get.  That's taken care of it on mine so far. :)  Good luck with it, nice looking plane!<div>

RE: My Spadrastic
 
I did some fiddling and got the engine runing well enough so I maidened it yesterday. The plane's in one piece but it was very pitchy and VERY hard to land. It felt like a little up elevator and it would shoot to the moon and a little down and it would dive really hard. Is it tail heavy or what?
