Default RE: Great Planes Illusion Q's

Besides R/C I was one of the early Hot Rodders as in 1949 ------Chopped fullhouse '32 etal. Forced out of that due to Korea.

From my standpoint anything fits anything ----simply a question of engineering and application.

The Saito 91 is way too big ---power as well as size. The Saito 82a will fit ----shoehorning acknowledged.

By the way I am talking balsa not 'glass. Big difference there and that Kit was foam and glass if memory serves me correctly.

By the way I'm still all balsa------I've built and flown a few foam and glass ----simply not my cup of tea. As with all designs, it was and still can be made of balsa.

I've flown all balsa up through 45%------don't care for that either. My Ideal size is the 850 to 1000 sq.in. 9.5 to 11 lbs dry with Saito 150 power. Yes, I design my own----old habits die hard!

You do have to learn throttle mgmt. however as 'overpowered' really doesn't get the point across!
