Default RE: Great Planes Escapade .40 ARF

good post Irish Santa. I can only add a note of caution on reinforcing the gear area and general flying of this plane.The gear area should be reinforced with glass and epoxy. Just adding glue will noy penetrate under the tri stock already added the factory. Strips of glass matt, 10mm wide along the edged of the gear box is enough.As IS says it is a great 2nd plane/low wing aerobatic trainer. It is not a pylon racer, reusable space transportation system or WMD. Fly it with respect and it'll get you too instructor level.Darn i miss mine already.
