Default Old 2 stroke pattern fun

Gentlemen

Imagine my surprise to find my name while snooping around. The Curare flew great with the OS91. It had an extremely short life(dumb thumb). The OS created some balance problems, and added significantly to the weight. It was a tail dragger and is SPA legal that way. The new one is just completed, but not yet flown due to weather and work constraints.

This thing was great in the wind. We flew at Bowling Green, KY in a boiling 25mph cross wind. The plane didn't care. It weighed 8-4 (don't choke, Mike), but a 14x8 and 30% Coolpower Heli provided all that is currently needed in an SPA plane. It seems some of you have a need for speed. The OS made it a rocket.
