I just completed a PhaetonII and haven't flown it yet. It is a nice kit to build and I have a Saito 80 for power. I first had planned on installing a Magnum 52 four stroke, which I believe would be adequate power, but the airplane came out a little tail heavy and the cg is right on with the Saito 80. I painted mine silver with a yellow upper wing and trimmed it in 1930"s Navy scheme. I also made a old time looking cowl instead of the one supplied. I'm real pleased with the results and am anxous to fly it.
