2mistakeshigh,

I flew mine on New Year's day twice. I installed an OS .46FX with 11x6 APC prop and it flies well.

The assembly was easy, although I've built kits in the past, but the directions are a joke. Don't be confused by the engine installation instructions. Use the supplied plates, and clamp the motor's base between them and the motor mount. Use some Loctite on the threads so the nuts don't vibrate off.

Obviously, the dihedral brace is installed so the wing tips are up after assembly. I used the stock landing gear, and had no problem on the landings, one bounced. I installed the wheel pants a little differently. I put the outer wheel collar inside the pant, with just the axle extending 1/8" outside the pant. Looks better, centers the wheel, and doesn't crush the pant on the outside.

Flies real well. It's my first glow. I normally fly electric, so this was a breeze. I did put in a little more elevator than they recommend after reading the review. 1/2" should be OK to start.

Even though it's a tail dragger, I didn't need much right rudder on takeoff. I throttled up slowly and pointed it into the wind. took off in 50' easily. Glides nicely on approach, so just ease it into the runway and slowly decend to the ground!

Enjoy,

Chris
