CLOLSON......... You have taken this classical bird to a new level. I salute you! A couple of sugestions. Please get out the white paint and a small brush and go to work on the exposed bare wood. Then make a floor out of sheet balsa and install a pilot on it. My goodness, you can't have such a plane flying around without a pilot! Putting that aside, please give us some details on how you rigged your steerable tailwheel. Incidentally, I use the furnished fuel tank, power the model with a Magnum .61 FS and get 18-20 min. flying time. And no, the flying is not boring. Relaxing yes. However, the fun part is "flying the wing" and rolling it, and making great big 'ol loops. Try doing that while making a perfectly executed loop. Another side note here.....someone said that they are using an Asp engine in their's and "it's the same as the Magnum". Wrong! Same company, different engine. Anyway, congrats on a fine job, and again, please detail how you set up the tail wheel......Cheers!
