I like the look of this plane too and have read the manual from the GP website, but we need pics guys!
Test flew a friend's plane last Saturday. Here's a pic of the prowd owner. Plane flew well with the OS 1.60 and exhibited no bad characteristics. Landings are uneventfull with no tip stalling tendencies and a mild stall. A much more relaxing/forgiving plane to fly than my GP 1/4 scale Giles. Andy said it balanced spot-on with the 160, btw.

OS 1.60 has more than enough power to hang it from the prop. Pulled to the belly slightly on knife-edge, but had zero roll coupling. Didn't try anything too wild seeing as it wasn't my plane!
