This airplane is short coupled, so it is a squirrell on the ground. With time this is less and less of a problem (this bird is a great precurser to something like the Pitts!). But once it is in the air it is a real pleasure to fly and as easy to land as a low wing trainer.

The .70 4cycle is a great match, and the wing loading is very light. My friend calculated it around 18oz/sq ft. The airframe is strong and will handle the power plant. This is not a 3D airplane, so don't be too dissapointed when it doesn't like knife edges. But the snap rolls will make you dizzy!

Builder beware; it is very much "stick built," but worth every unending hour of work! Build it just as is- it's beautful!
