RE: Would like your opinions
Its on consignment, hanging up at my lhs. PM your contact info and I will pass on to the seller.
The paint job is so good on this plane you don't want to do anything to it. You cannot feel any of the seams. I bet the extra 2lbs is from paint alone.
I probably should have bought it, but I did not want to put that much money into flying SPA/CPA just yet. So far we only have SPA in this area, I went to my first contest last summer. If I buy this plane I still would have to buy a SPA capable plane, or find a way to pull 2lbs out of this one (without repainting).
I did buy a H9 P7. I'm going to see if my little Mag 52 is enough for it. Its a really strong motor, it will turn a 10x6 apc at 16k + on a stock muffler. I'm going to see how well it will turn the 11x6/7. If its at least 12k, then I may buy a tuned muff for it.
