Gary, In the spirit of helping others, making bold print is pretty easy. Hold down the left button on the mouse over the print you want to make bold and slide the mouse back over the print being careful not to go too far. Then in the upper left hand side of message box screen, below all the smiley faces you will see a small box with a B in upper case. Click on this and your print will be in bold. There are several other options such as Italics, underlining, and color print option as well.

The PW has been a big success for G.P. and I can certainly see why you would want another one. I had looked at this model, but opted for the W.M. Giant Extra 300S. This airframe could easily support a 50cc engine. I purchased a DA-50 and chose to put it in the Pitts and couldn't justify buying another one for the Extra at the time so I used an OS 160 FX. Being totally honest, I am very pleased with this engine in the Extra. It flies the plane very well, though this is not a 3-D machine with this power source.

The Pitts and the Eagle are similar, though I happen to like the Pitts covering a bit more than the Eagle. Just a personal preference. As for new projects, I have been thinking about the G.P. Stearman, which looks like a really nice BIPE. I have followed the thread where guys are putting the Zenoah 26 on the nose and seem to be pleased. As for larger planes, I think the Pitts is about as large as I want to go at this time. I have stuck with 1/4 scale and the Pitts is the only 33% model I have in the hanger. Based on my skills the Pitts is a handful on the ground, but once in the air it's a baby. [8D]

Good luck with your new project and thanks for the healthy exchange of opinions and ideas on this thread. Sometimes people get into flaming with harsh foolishness and reading way too much into responses, which easily happens with the written word.
