Being a USAF veteran, the Navy paint scheme rubs me the wrong way - but what the hey. I'll locate one of mine (Intruder 90's) and get it set up for either an OS .61 SF side exhaust engine or a four-stroke. I have a Saito .91, a Thunder Tiger .91 (with black fins - that's good for another 1k rpm, I suppose) and a Magnum .91 for choices in four-strokes. Oh, and if I want to burn enough nitro to make up the difference, I have a pair of Saito .82a engines that would move that CG back a bit, I'll bet. I'd probably have to add nose weight if I chose an .82.

The wife retired today. Now I'll be able to spend more time in the shop, which is just the way it works out for various reasons.

Anyone heard from Hobbsy lately? I don't recall seeing his posts of late.
