Default RE: 2011 race planes

Looks pretty good there Chap. Did you skin the wings with 1/64 ply? Get it done so I have someone to do some practice laps with. I decided I needed a back up engine for my gold Macchi and foun one on Ebay. Won the auction at 86.00. When the engine arrived I was floored after dis-assembly. I amanged to luck out and got a never run 5 port long stroke FIRE 61. I'm hoping to be able to switch from a 10X9 to a 11X9 or 10X10 at the same RPM. Should be good for another 15MPH. Now if I can just figure out how to land at less then 50 mph lol. 4 landings on the airplane and I have noticably worn the main wheels.
