You have the best airplale I've ever owned... Just make sure the elevator throw isn't too much.. Keep reducing the throw until it stops snapping. I had about 300-400 flights on mine before I retired it because I basically wore it out.. I have two more waiting to be assembled. There are some things you should do though... Remove the landing gear plywood plate, and replace it with something thicker and re-inforce the firewall box.

Other than the firewall and landing gear re-inforcing, this is the toughest plane I've owned.. Beleive it or not, I was doing lots of very low inverted passes, and I put it into the ground full-bore inverted twice!! Both times the tail broke off, and the prop broke, but the repairs were easy and I was back flying it 30-40 minutes later.

It is a really great plane.. Can't say enough good things about it..

BTW, I powered mine with an OS .61 FX w/pitts.
