Fastsky,
I took all the stock covering off and re-did it with a lighter tan color, then spayed on the brown camo spots.
The Saito 100 has a 14 x 8 prop. Again plenty of power. If you go to much on the surface deflections ( airlerons ) they become brakes and stall the wing not moveing the air over smoothly. IMO to much is'nt good.

Oh..buy the way, the wing spars next to the epoxy joint at the gull are weak, I had a wing just break off on a some what hard landing, (others have had this happen also). Thats why I used the oleo struts.. A little spring action for the gear.
Stock ones are SOLID. no dammpening.. effect at all.

Good Luck..
