the new texan beechcraft is a good plane. seagull done their homework on this one. my flying buddy just built one. flew it this week. os,.95 4 stroke for power. nice scale looks and retracts that work great. these are 3/16 struts on the retracts. they are strong. the engine is mounted inverted. what a nice flyer and you couldn't want more scale looks than this has. i was so impressed i bought one from horizon hobby. not 229.00 either. 174.95 free shipping......but 13.50 oversize. 188.00 total. i have a saito 100 4 stroke going in it. this is the max. it requires 7 servos with the retracts. just standdard ones like futaba 3004. have it this week so i'll let you know how i like it..............RON
