Sorry to bring up such an old post, but I have a question... Because this is an older post, I was wondering what do you think of the Lanier 1/4 scale taylorcraft now that you own it? What engine did you go with. Were you happy with the building/flight characterists?

I read that some engines don't have enough power. I plan on using a 1.2 four stroke O.S. would that work well. I don't really want to push the plane to the max, I just really want it to float around. Because I am using a four stroke, I would think a little extra weight of strengthening the fuselage wouldn't be too disasterous. I just like a strong fuselage in my planes. I plan on using the stronger TNT Landing gear as recomended, I still haven't been sold on the idea of using the fiberglass cowl and weelpants. What are all your thoughts?
