Liberator,
I was out of the hobby for about 12 years and flew for 8. When I got back into the hobby thats what I started with. I put a Super Tigre .51 on the business end and it just wasn't enough to truely fly the plane the way it was intended to fly. I to flew patteren planes and have since got ahold of an old "Corvette" pattern plane with a 73" wing span and I put a new OS.61 with a Mac pipe up front. Haven't flown it yet but sure looks good. I also have a ModelTech Magic Extra with an OS .50 SX. I just bought my first profile plane and a Saito .82 cause I want to see what all the fuse is about. Wecome back to the hobby. You'll enjoy it more now than you did, at least I did
