Thanks alot for all the recommendations , i find it is very hard now a days to find something for glow or gas of that size.

I don't think I feel like putting any serious amount of time building something , i have to many large aerobats and a fleet of jets to maintain so the Pattern is actually to relax at the field.

BTW I am terrible with electrics.
The Vanquish prototypes were originally built and flown on YS power. I have an E-version that I am converting to petrol power. The firewall needs modification to accept the gassie and the belly needs some care to accept the pipe I intend to run.

For you, the YS170's muffler is far smaller and should be a straight forward mod, firewall and belly. This model is a good flyer and will finish light on either gas or glow. Don't be put off by the lightweight construction; it is very strong. I had a similarly constructed 78" Extra from the same company (Extreme Flight) that I powered with a piped DLE55 just for kicks. NOW THAT was one hell of a fun plane...12# with 36# of thrust. Just right!!
