Default World Models Dago Red?

I owned a DagoRed, with an ASP .75 2stroke. This combo was very fast, and it seemed to have alot of lower end torque that was real nice for those fast take-off runs, or just pointing it up, and going for them moon. I built mine totally stock, with the exception of added epoxy fillet around inside of firewall.

I would probably change the gear if I built another, as someone said, this plane on the best of landings will bend gear. Moreso then the Balsa versions. Of which this one is identical except for the fusalage. With it being about a pound heavier then the balsa version, performance is affected more by engine choice, then the lighter Stangs.

I did end up selling my Dago a few months ago, as it seemed real nice for going fast and turning left. REAL good there, I'm just more of an unlimited aerobatic kind of guy. Plus, I have the balsa version that's been on a diet, coming out with new covering, and a .61 w/tuned pipe. I'm hoping it will smoke the Dago I had. Although my Dago was fast, I can imagine a plane over a pound lighter. Can't wait, it's in line right now, and about half way done.

marcdam, go for the .90, if your going to put it into a Stang, the Dago would be the one, either that or reinforced balsa version.
The Dago is probably the only WM stock Stang I'd put that much engine in though.
