Default Dr Jeckyll

Hey Steve, that Dr Jeckyll looks familiar. I was the original owner/builder of that plane. I built it in 95 right after RC City started selling them. I bet I put at least 500 flights on it before I sold it to my brother. He flew it for 2 years in Sportsman and Intermediate with many wins. It was in bad need of some work when the previous owner acquired it. I can't believe how good it looks now! That plane will fly great with a plain old YS 120 FS or even an AC, which can be picked up pretty cheap nowadays, probably $200 or less. As far as fuel, these motors run fine on 20% fuel, and burn less than an OS 160. No matter what engine you go with, that plane is definately a great beginner for pattern flying.
