Dan, I hung a Saito 72 on it and seems to be plenty of power, for me. I like scale-like flying. It took off in about 30 to 50 feet seems like. It ended up just a little over 7 lbs. maybe that's partly why it seems to fly well. How about yours? And I don't know if Hooked finished or not. He kept me going to finish mine. I hope he did or does eventually. You have decent weather where you are to fly now? We have had a batch of cold, windy stuff here.
