Hi, I've got a little over 6 hours flight time on my Tango and find it to be a fun plane to fly. It has a PST600 (12lbs thrust) for power and the dry weight is about 17 pounds with a takeoff weight of about 23 pounds. With about 15 degrees of flaps it lifts off in about 150 feet, or there abouts. With full flaps, without airbrake (I didn't install) it slows down and lands pretty easily.

I have noticed the elevator takes very little movement to have a pronounced and positive affect.

The tail booms (with robart 630 gear installed) have a tendency to contact the ground at the aft end on some landings. I put some scuff tape at that area to prevent unneccessary damage. Additionally, my booms started cracking, lengthwise, on the bottom. It appeared it was just the seam separating. It was an easy fix, but be sure and check that area.

My field is pretty rough and I kept breaking the trunion pin of the nose gear, so I just(last night) installed fixed gear. I really like not having all the retract gear accessories, such as valve, airlines, etc, especially since the Tango has limited space on the inside.

I'm sure you will have great performance with the P60. My plane is a pound heavier heavier than yours and I have less thrust.


Good Luck on your first flight.
