Default RE: Flight-Model KI-61 ???

frets24, the WingSpan retracts in the Zero are still holding up ok.

Dogshome, I don't know the speed. We had a guy at the club with a radar gun a few months ago, but this was before I had the Tony. It is not extremely fast but fast enough. I'm guessing 70 to 75 mph. Its vertical is good enough for about three rolls while going straight up. After that it is about done. Not unlimited vertical but still very good. I recommend the DLE 20 for this plane, but then the carb cooling becomes an issue. I'm surprised you didn't have these problems with the 15 as it has a pitts muffler and rear carb.
