Steve,
No problems with the spin entry. I had the King Altair set up a bit tail-heavy , and it would just fall right into the spin. I think Joe has his a bit forward CG from where I had it originally. To make it more stable for him I would think. The plane was without a doubt in my mind the best of both worlds. An SPA plane that fles like a slow 2 meter plane.
I had the comment from Cass at Cave Springs that I was the only one who could take 12 minutes to get through a 7 minute pattern.

I had it proped and trimmed for slow graceful flight, With the OS91 with the bored out muffler/ Cool Power 30 %. The power was all you could ever want in an SPA plane. So power is not really an issue. I think Rusty had Kings in the 8.5 lb range. Mine was more near 7.5 or less. That would make all the difference in the world.

Off to the workshop.
