Hello,
Ive just read all 15 pages of this posting with great interest since I have been extremly interested in this plane after seeing add for it. I too had concern about it being made by Thunder Tiger since I have not been impressed by their products in the past. Glad to hear that maybe quality issues are being addressed. Though landing gear blocks seem to be an issue. Also fuel tank mounting.

Things I would have liked to have seen are: BIGGER, BIGGER, BIGGER. 60" is not big enough to satisfy me. Would have preffered something in the 75" range. Maybe even 90". Also something that bugs me is, NO FLAPS, this plane crys out for flaps. If I were to buy this plane I would have to modify wings for flaps. No easy job.

Also, I have recently started running gas engines in my new planes. I find them to be so much nicer than glow engines to deal with.
I would prefer to run a gas engine in this bird but feel it is probably not big enough for even a small one, such as FPE's 2.4 and to big for a 1.3. Though now that i think about it, may be perfect for a 1.3.

Still have not ruled this bird out of my stable however, so I have these questions.
1: You guys who have flown yours. What about flaps, do you think this plane would benifit from them? Or are they more trouble than
they are worth.
2: Do you think a small gas engine would be suitable for this plane. Such as FPE's 1.3?
3: Why are you all insisting on running the 3-blade prop? 2-blades are much more efficent. Is it because of ground clearence issues?
or just because 3 blade spinner comes with plane and it looks cool? (I like cool too)

Well I look forward to your replies.
Craig
