Story on the Strega, We stripped it down, glassed with .5 oz fiberglass cloth and then painted with automotive paint. The engine is a ys 1.15 warbird special, running 30% fuel, that is the minimum YS recommends. Have only flown with a 14x11 apc, but have a 14x12, 14x13 and a 13.5x 13.5. Will try the other props in about 3 week. The 14x11 turns about 10,500 on the ground and really move the plane, radar is about 120, vertical is unlimited. The plane weighs 8.5#s. this isn't a typical 40 size plane it is built to handle the ys racing engine. That is why I decided to add the flaps, really just carrying the 2 extra servos. The plane flies like its on a string no bad habits but landing is a chore, better not get to slow even with the flaps she eats up the runway. In California a gentleman is pushing this plane up to 200 mph with 60% fuel and a 14x16 apc prop. Sure he has to slow down to race that plane.
