Default RE: Which pilot for GP Super Skybolt

I used a 25% scale pilot I picked up at my local hobby shop. The plane is about 23% but the pilot is close to being the right size. I built mine about 10 years ago too with a Saito 1.50. Actually, this is my second one. I crashed my first one on the first flight,,,pulling a snap roll a little too low to the ground. I liked how it flew so I immediately built another one with another Saito 1.50. I flew this one about 6 times. The last time I flew it, I cartwheeled it. I sold the engine and the plane has been sitting in my garage since then. I finally decided to get her in the air again about two months ago. I hate Momokote so I stripped it off of the fuselage and fiberglassed it. I just put the final basecoat of paint on it this evening. I'll start the trim tomorrow and then clearcoat it. I am using an ASP 1.08 this time. I have never flown an ASP but the horsepower is exactly the same as the Saito 1.50. I am hoping it will have plenty of power.
