Also does anyone have the measurement of the maximum height with the gear retracted on this plane? Specifically the heigh of the rudder. Want to make sure it all fits in the back of my vehicle which could be a deal breaker I'm crossing my fingers I won't have an issue with.
I watched the Horizon team fly their Hangar 9 60cc Corsairs at Warbirds over the Midwest in Fond Du Lac in August 2014 and they were impressive!
Look back on this thread (page 39) and look at the pictures and read the feedback.
The Saito Product Manager had been flying his on stock FG-84 R3 and told me that he has not had any problems.
I have picked up my FG-84 and I'm looking forward to 2015!
