ok a couple of quick questions. I see you're in D3 so I know what you're up against (or could be).

What class? Sportsman, intermediate, advanced?

What are your goals? IE do you want to go for that trophy, or just have fun and goof off and not put too much into it?

That plane would be great if you can find an old YS 120 from a reputable person, or even a TT 120 Pro RE pattern engine with a little tweaking.

It would do fine down there in the wind under certain conditions, but keep in mind that plane was meant to fly fast and smooth.

I'm sure you're about to hear 100 different opinions, so I'll offer mine straight up and let you decide after you answer those questions.
