Default RE: Jack Stafford Models

I have built the Piper Comanche single and it flys great with a OS 61SF. The kit is not a beginners kit and requires quite a bit of work(shaping & sanding). I covered mine with monocote since I don't have the patience for painting. It flys very simliar to a P-51 since the wings are almost the same. I like scale airplanes but also like a plane that is fast and agile. The Stafford Comanche fits the bill. I recently purchased the Comanche twin but have not built it as of yet. Its a great looking plane and will be my first twin. The kit was purchased from the current Stafford models website and I received the kit within 8 days. I checked out the contents and plans
and it appears to be a little more work than the single I have. I intend to power it with two RCV 58 4 strokes
with Airtronics R8000 for guidance. Now I just have to find the time to build it which is always in short supply this time of year for me.
