I'll throw in my 2 cents. I've had one for five years. The full wing is the most beautiful but most difficult of the multitude of airplanes I fly. It requires constant attention and will bite you in a second on takeoff or landing. The huge wing, short fuse, and short length make take offs a challenge. It ground loops in a heartbeat without constant rudder attention. I start wiggling the rudder before I start the take off run. I ease the throttle forward holding some down elevator to get the tail "flying". This gives good scale takeoffs. The other way to successfully take off is jam full throttle. That seems to get it up to speed fast enough that it doesn't change ends. I have seen the clipped wing version fly and looks like it flies like a trainer. So if you are not very experienced, built the clipped wing.

I have an OS-91 4 stroke in mine. Its a great match, especially if you put floats on it. I fly off the water a lot and I would not want any less power. It actually flies easier on floats. And it so graceful and pretty in the air. I guess all the weight hanging down gives it more stability.

I like the scale engine sticking out one side that is supplied with the kit.

Good luck,

Bob
