I should just build it out as a Super in the colors I would choose if I had my own.
that way it would look right but appear to be flown by a timid Super owner lol.
i cannot afford an alternative power plant unless I went with the 5 cyl 125. It would definitely improve performance but I would rather not have the 5. I wouldn’t cowl it. Maybe a “Townsend” (sp) ring.
oh! I could end up with the 5.
I can build out the wings and tail before I commit anyway. Even cover and paint them. I have been out of the hobby a very long while.
either way, they are pretty toys. “ But honey! I must have a radial for this project. It just won’t work out any other way! We will get through this together like we always have. Come, sit down with me. We can push the BUY BUY button together”.
Thank you guys. The finish on your Flair kit looks great!
