Default RE: American rippled PVC and Canadian pipe

Omaha:

The only spad that I've built to date that flies like a champ is a 40 size spadstick that I put an OS 46LA on....could be the lightest one to date that I've built. The .46 seems to be just about right as far as power goes for that plane as it's pretty agile even with that somewhat weak motor on the nose. If the coro version of the cap 232 I've started turns out like my last couple coro creations it's gonna be a heavy weight with the larger fluted downspout I'm using for formers. Oh well I've got a tower hobbies 75 just screaming for a ride in the corocap You think that'll be enough power to hover this thing with the right prop? That's my goal anyway since all the guys I fly with love to give me a hard time about my plastic fantastic's I like to fly. I've let a couple of the guys fly the spadstick and they are actually amazed at how well it flies for being coro.

Hopefully I can find some time this week to work on the new bird and shoot some more build pictures as I go.
