RE: Calypso and Supertigre G60 bluehead X series RE

Calypso...fantastic airplane.

I encourage you to build the Calypso. I built my model pretty close to Hanno's world championship version with the exception of the aileron size and location. I powered mine with the Super Tigre S61, which is a very powerful engine that is simple to operate and runs stronger and stronger with each tank. The X61 is an excellent engine and will run the best after 2-3 gallons of fuel.

The flight capabilities are as good as any classic model I have flown assuming it is properly set-up. It would be possible to purchase an "S" or 1" rise header from Macs, cut off the flange and use a viton coupler to attach to the motor.
