does anyone know what engines will fit into this fuselage and not over heat, and fly it well? i would hate to have a $3000 mustang that was the slowest plane at the field. i wonder if the cjm exhausts would look ok on this plane? they have some 1/5 scale exhausts stacks they sell as accessories.

the composite-arf site tells you how they sell the kits now- several ways.

for the wing i would like to know if it has washout built into it. laminar flow was fine for the full scale but for models a thicker wing is much easier to fly, and washout is in my opinion a necessity for most pilots- me included - to minimize snaps at low speeds. besides this it would take a pretty large model to have a laminar wing that is thick enough for most retract designs. although i guess if you had custom gear made you might be able to get some super thin retracts made. anyone know of a set of retracts that will fit into a true laminar flow wing at this scale?
