Ouch! I knew there was a reason I shouldn't have chopped the wingtips off of the SS60. Ed Moorman mentioned that his Joss Stick performed a lot better with the angled wingtips chopped off, so I figured I'd give it a try. Plus the squared off wing spans exactly 72", which fits the bed of my pickup without taking the wing panels apart. Oh, well.

Anyways, I'll finally be done with my SS60 this weekend (I will post pictures), so my H9 PT-19 is next on the building table. I doubt I can get it put together and test flown in a week though. Maybe next time. Thanks for the invite, though. I appreciate it.

seanychen, I would seriously consider a larger engine. Now, I'm not the type to overpower like mad (unlike some people around here ). In fact, I'm about the only one in RCU to be powering a H9 1/4 CAP232 with a 1.20 2stroke. Everybody else seem to consider an OS 1.60FX the minimum.

The SS60 is a BIG airplane. The fact that the SS60's wing loading is so light means it'll fly with a .72 4stroke, but I doubt it'll be much fun. It'll probably fly like a big trainer. I think the Saito 100 would be an excellent choice for a 4stroke. It's very light weight, so you won't have balancing problems like I had to fight with, but it'll turn a 16x6 as fast as the ASP 1.20 fourstroke I'm putting in mine. Just my $0.02.
