Default RE: Super Skybolt ARF

MM,

I defintely am interested in this one as well. I saw it in Toledo and OMG. Between the Beech Staggerwing and the Skybolt, you had a very hard time getting me away from that booth.

I have a Saito 91 and a Saito 125 that both need a home. According to the requirements, the 91 should be fine, but for me, fine is not enough so I'm thinking of the 125 since I have it and I do not see any reason why a 100 would not be a perfect match for this plane.

I think the RCS gas engines might be a bit too much weight. Tower has the standard GP promo video and the manual listed

Wingspan: 57" (1450mm)
Wing Area: 924 sq in (60 sq dm)
Weight: 7.7lb (3490g)
Wing Loading: 19.2 oz/sq ft (59 g/sq dm)
Length: 53" (1345mm)
