Update: flew the Minnow 3 times. Had an OS 61 sitting on the shelf so thats what I used. The plane amplifies the sound of the engine making it sound a lot more powerful that it is. The plane actually speeds up quite fast on the runway and and climbs straight out with out needing ailerons even in a stiff cross wind. It handles like a good sport plane but is not that fast in the air with just a 61 pulling it. Flew around for 5 minutes and brought it around to land. Slowed it down well before it touched down and it landed easily. On the second flight the engine faltered so I brought the plane back around. The engine died and I landed dead stick with no problems. The plane handles nice and looks good in the air. The 3d flight was straight forward with no issues. Now that I know how the plane handles, I should decide on a larger engine for it. [8D]
