Its ok iam getting crabby in my old age and i most times dont post on this site where no one knows me .When you get to be close to 60 your eyes and reflexes start to go south and you have to fly more to keep things steady . lol Back in my old pattern days a young kid named Chip Hyde was kicking every ones ars at 16 and was a world champ . My foam judi jetstream had way to big of a motor on it for the light ply and foam in the rear .If i would have built the oringal plane i would have used the same size motor but i blew mine up from a 26 inch wing span to a 37 inch and ran into CG problems . I will go with a smaller motor and give her another shot. Jurgen B from Germany sent me the video and plans before he released it to every one else and he is a great builder and friend. Here is Jurgens smaller one
