I have a fiberglass, taildragger Illusion that flew with a MVVS .77 and it is one of the best flying airplanes
I have ever had. You will like it. Although it is too fast for todays pattern it would be great for SPA
events.
The maingear struts are 2 1/4 inches from the leading edge of the wing measured at the struts and the
gear has a 20 inch tread width.

Thanks,

I will let you guys know how the build comes along. Incidentally, did you build the wings as is or honeycomb them? I was toying with some honeycombing, not a ton- just to make things a bit lighter. Too bad SPA does not have it on their list of approved planes that I could find.
