you guys are absolutely right! I started working on it today as its raining and looks like it will be crappy outside for a few days.so I am building it and its a fast build and I will build it exactly to specifications..oh maybe lite wheels and the celastic might go but beyond that I will keep it simple.I cut my theeth in ona sig kavalier god too many years back to count.then progressed to the cougar.most of the adanced pilots had 50's with some sort of tuned pipe to make it a rocket.

of course I am looking for a jet pilot you guys know where I can get one inexpensive..?

not sure I like balsa rods but have done it over the 25 years many times..and your right why spoil the joy flying this sweet plane.I am installing a os 46fx .I almost bet I could get away with a 52 or 56 fourstroke .nahhhhhhhhhhhhh .I will make it look like the pics.yeahhhhh just right.thanks guys for bringing me back to reality lol..
