Bubba,
Yep, that was the one that I was asking you about a few weeks ago. He has the standard Zenoah G-26 on it. We had an interesting trim flight on it. On take off it jumped off the ground and almost stalled. Flying too about half of the down stick to keep it in level flight, and we almost didn't get it back to the ground. Back in the shop showed the top wing had about 15° positive incidence. Couple of days of looking showed that the outer struts were labeled wrong. The arrow that point forward was on backwards. These pics are from the second trim flight on it. Man, what a nice flying plane. Drool, drool, slobber, slobber, I want, I want!!!!
But since I just ordered the G-38 for the Decathlon yesterday I know that I have to wait awhile before getting another big plane!!

15 degrees, WOW. I'm zero-zero on mine which accounts for me not being able to 3-point the puppy very well, but it sure does wheel land nicely. It just does not look right without the wheel pants though. Now he needs smoke, this plane screams for smoke and also add some scarfs to the pilots.
Here is mine for those of you who have not seen it. Mine comes out only on nice days when we are doing demonstrations. These pics are from the first day just before the maiden before the scarfs were added.
RCIgnitions G26
Slimline Smike muffler
TME SmartSmoker smoke pump
Hitec 5645's all around.
In the following pics I have the interlinks installed but have since changed it to 4 aileron servos. Total weight is 14lbs but Belia 18X6 prop and the Zenoah haul it well plus the prop matches the color scheme perfectly. A Mezjlik 18X6 works better but just does not look right on the plane. Remeber this is a show plane built to impress. You need to see these things in person, they are NICE looking
