Default RE: GP <span class=

Dick, very nice shot on the landing approach. Much better than the "fake" ones. BTW, did you use the short prop hub on the Fuji 50? I have a Fuji 50 I could use, among other engines, but I find the $58 price tag for the short hub obsurd. I know I should probably wait till your full report comes out in RCR, but how about a little more detail on its flight behavior? I've heard the Eagle's close cousin, the Pitts Special, is a precision, if somewhat unforgiving, aerobatic plane. This seems to jive with Wayne's flight report. I'm no rank beginner, but I did manage to spin a GP .40 Decathlon to the ground just recently, so I'm still leery of snappy airplanes.

Frank and Wayne, I will keep you all posted on my progress when I get around to assembly this one. I am trying to decide whether to start this one first or the Patty Extra.
