YNOT. Did I read your post correctly, you are 9lbs 0ozs with an OS160!?!?!? Wow. That is light. That engine is almost one pound heavier than a 110.
Great looking pictures and Zane did a great job on the build. I'd keep him around for some time to come. Does he fly?
Raideron, I'm thinking about you for tomorrows UPS delivery. I hope it makes it in tact. I think you'll really be impressed with the quality. Very nice.
I've got all my gaps sealed (what a drag) but they look pretty good. Mounting the linkages and engine right now. Well not right now, I'm on the computer. But you get the idea.
I'm now getting anxious to fly this plane. I'm hoping mine weighs somewhere in the 8.5 range but based on Drumbum's it'll probably be closed to 9. The Yak is pretty good at about 8.75 but when the temp gets hot she's not enough. It may not be quite enough anyway to do really good hovers and waterfalls. But I'm hoping for the best on this baby.
Drumbum, why don't you do kinda a mini review like I did in the Yak forum on this plane. I'd really be interested to get your points of views an individual stunts etc. Then I could do one from a prospective of lesser experienced pilot. Anyways, I think we could get that kind of thing going and it would really help people know what this plane is all about.
Thanks
Barry
