Wow! Nice work! That really is a 2nd or 3rd airplane but you could easily throw an ARF together to start learning while you take your time on these babies! (Tail Dragger or bust!)

I even saw a Monty Python reference on this thread (hint, hint, nudge nudge..) which is good stuff-

I love those Irvines, just stick with 5% nitro, an OS-8 and something in the range of 11x6 for sport flying--(Keep in mind the Tower-46 muffler fits the Irvine, and it adds power if you need it down the road for $15-)

Cheers!
