My favorite plane is the GP Lancair. I have built four now, three for other people. The motors have been the OS 61 FX and Saito 91 so far. There are a lot of myths out there about this plane being hard to fly and tipsy, but it is not. It is actually right behind my Avistar being the easiest plane to fly in my fleet. I have also reinforced the center section of the wing on all of the ones I have built. All of those are still flying, no wing failures, and one has been flying since the plane first came out. The plane is a little more expensive, but worth it to me. They are also very aerobatic and I just love to fly them.

I fly mine with a 61 FX, but between 4200 and 7200 feet in the heat. So, the 61 GP would have no problem and probably be just right.

I am going to build another one in a month or so and put a Magnum 91 FS on it for a cross country competition. I am thinking about adding retracts as well. I'll probably be the first to finish the course, I hope.

Did I mention the plane is just beautiful?
