Hi Don, Dennis is right, the wing area is WAY too small for even a .15 anything. It'll fly with your

.15 Magnum. However, the performance will be less than stellar, because of the very high wing

loading of your finished model. You'll surely need to add tail weight to move the CG to optimal

performance. The Brodak model is a re-kit of the Sterling line which also featured a profile ME-109.

I eyeballed this model from a Sterling kit and estimated the wing area to be around 140 sq"s.

I fly a Ringmaster Jr (195 sq" wing) that is powered by a PAW .049 diesel, it literally flys like a combat

model on 44' X .008" lines, and it is going 54mph. It weighs 7.125 ozs ready to fly sans fuel. It flys an entire

stunt pattern with 1/2 oz of fuel.

With all that being said, I do like your model, and I'm sure it will be a lot of fun for you.
