Splais, The wheel paints will crack like a egg shell, they are not flexible enough.The motor is a homelite 33cc turning a 20x8 dynathrust @ 6800. I'm going to try to mount the paints to the wire somehow this winter.I rec a 20in prop Ive tried 18in It works but no thrill. Do a search and see what other people are using to power the plane,most will say its under powered.
