RE: Escapade .40 a good second plane?
I have an OS 46 AX on mine and I added 2 dark blue stripes under the wings.
Now tere is a long thread here about the CG of the Escapade.
Be aware that the manufacturer's CG is not correct so a lot of people add weight on the nose.
You should not add weights on the nose and the landing will be much slower too.
