Thanks SERAFIM and donkey doctor for your comments. I will not be flying this plane for sometime because I haven't really got to fly my trainer's, yet due to the unfortunate mid-air on my first trip out. I read the manual and it does not mention "Washout" at all. There is, however some diehedral built into the wing. I am strongly tempted to forget about the "Washout" because it is just another step for opportunity for error. I have heard some say you need the "Washout" to build in stability, and others say they have had no problems without it.

The manual is very straight forward and the pictures are good. I have not yet unrolled the plans. I am going to take them to a print shop tomorrow and have two additional sets made. 1 for spare and 1 to send to another R/C'er in a foreign country who needs a set.

I did notice that the manual mentions sharpening a 1/8" dia. piece of brass to cut or gouge out grooves for the torque rod and tailgear wire. Know where I can buy the brass tubing?

You both mention the landing gear as being weak and bends easily. I looked at it and it looks strong, but it is aluminum and maybe is not a stiff enough grade. SERAFIM, you mention ordering a stronger one, where?

Also, I was wondering what you all thing of Evolution engines. Both of my trainers have .61's and they run nicely out of the box. I was thinking of ordering a .46 NT (12,500 RPM, dual bearing) running a 11 x 6 prop. What are your thoughts on this selection? I know I would have to replace the existing muffler with something that would adapt to the cowling. I guess I'll see if that's possible before I make a decision. I would appreciate your suggestions. I am not made of money, but I would spend a little extra for the right combination. The Evolution .46 is $90.00 at Horizion Hobby.
