No doubt the Tipo is a pretty, nicely proportioned plane, though I never have owned or flown one. I wonder if one, (ie Tipo), could be converted to a 4S, or at least a 2S with performance muffler? No--No--don't go "ballistic" on me----I wasn't talking about THOSE Tipos, (marriage made in heaven etc etc)--just thinking in general terms.

I DO HAVE a Super Curare with a .61 O.S. FX that is my current "back-up" plane to the Taurus in Novice. It flies nicely, though I'm sure not as fast as you'd like or expect--but enough for my purposes. I mostly want vertical--not so much interested in speed.
