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!

in your opinion do you think the Moki 1.80 or 2.10 will liven it up for possible mild 3d action?
