Hey Tom,

I have a Fledgling finished except for radio and engine installation. I'm wondering if it will fly with a Magnum .25? I also have a couple of old K&B .40s, but they seem a little heavy...

I built and flew a Mini-Fledgling in the early 80s; Motor, Elevator and Ailerons using an EK brick and a Thunder Tiger .10. Flew great until I decided to remove the muffler in an attempt to wring the last little bit of power out of the TT. Forgot to rebalance and it was uncontrollably tail heavy. The resulting re-kitting made quite an impression on my Dad, who walked away mumbling about flushing money down the toilet[&o].

Anyway, I'd like a copy of the Fledgling plans as mine have long since disappeared.

Thanks,
Brian
