Thanks guys... Excellent advice, I will take it all.

I had to mess with the pictures quite a bit to get even that much yellow out of them! I'll just take it outside or something and get better pictures.

Thanks for the tip about the prop - I'll need all the power I can get out of this setup to fly this plane. I just stuck the folder on because it seemed to clear the cowl better, but I think I'll look up the 3x3.

If I have a lot of trouble, I'll try the 4.2:1 gearing and the 10cm prop...

I'm finishing the mold for the canopy tonight, so I may be able to get a test flight in this week, if the wind stays down. By the way, Mike, I never did see a flight report for the Albatross - did I miss it?

Tiberius - I'm in West Chester, some minutes toward the frozen north of Cincinnati. Pronounced 'Cold'n'Windy'.
