Believe it or not, I did end up scratch building this plane from Proctor plans. I reduced them 20% so I ended up with a 80" wingspan. I had 2 flights on it with a Saito 115 for power and after cleaning all the "glo snot" from between all the wires decided that electric power had to be the way to go.

She is now powered by a Turnigy G-60 500 through a Turnigy 85 amp ESC using 5S, 4000mAh, 40c batteries. It is a very good and smooth flyer with very solid response to inputs.It's not what I would call an "every day" plane due to the amount of time required to assemble and disassemble all the wires and such but it gets a ton of attention at the field and is a real pleasure to fly. Forgot to mention that the all up flying weight is only 10 lbs.☺

Cheers
