Barry, I finally got my Can Do 40 back in the air today (OS .61, Master Airscrew 13x5), yet I have a difficult time getting excited about my Can Dos, 40 or 60. They are pleasant, undemanding, predictable birds who give one a great sense of control. Landings are easy; they float forever. I hover, inverted spin, do walls, and reasonably good waterfalls with both birds. But they don't have the challenge and passion of a Twist, or even OMP's Katana V2 .46. The long tail-moment seems to sap their excitement and verve.

What do you DO with your Can Do that gives you the most pleasure? Where can I take the Can Dos that will excite me? Should I put the Saito 1.0 on the Can Do .40? Will that give it zip and passion? Tomorrow I may fly the Can Do inverted over the pond and try to mark the snow, fluffy and deep just now, with the tail or the prop, whichever is highest. I'll either have some great pix or plant some balsa in the pond, whereupon all the above questions will be moot.

The $129 buck price on the Can Do is enticing, and I can always use another, dependable, bird in the hangar, but I'd rather get another Twist, for $99.
