Default GP Skybolt

I bought one when they first came out - I like the way it looked on the box and built it to match. I powered it with an OS 120. I had a few problems with an early kit - the biggest problem - and I don't know if they fixed it - was that the landing gear flexed way too much. With a 15x8 prop, I kept chewing up the gound and prop whenever it flexed. I built the plane real light and with the 120 I considered it overpowered. As far as 3D, the plane is too small to do what my 35% Extras or Laser can - it just isn't the same. Because it is small and quick, I pulled the engine and gave to my buddy for his Cub, the Skybolt is in the basement for sale.
