Yes: I made the maiden flight in strong cross wind conditions, and was so pleased with the performance that I actually went out and brought another today from Hobby People, saving $80 with their Fourth of July Sale.

The ST G2300 is more than enough engine for the plane. Dry weight is 9 1/2 pounds and no added lead. Battery and receiver are well forward. I eye balled all the flying surfaces and she only needed just a tad of right aileron trim, probably due to torque. I set the cg according to instructions. Initial flights were done using an APC 17x8 prop. The ST 2300 has the Perry non-pump carb.

The second one will have the Mvvs 1.60 gasser, the second motor which I ordered from Pe. I truly like the services he offers. I don't think it will take much beefing up as the ship is pretty solid right out of the box.

My first concern with the plane was the glass or plastic covering on the fuse. I have drilled holes for switch and charging mechanism and was pleasantly surprise at the toughness of the material.
