this plane lands like a dream, there won't be too many "hot" landings to worry about destroying the wings. Remember, this plane is very tail heavy. Do what you can to adjust for this and your 90 will fly this plane ok.

Boy is it tail heavy... I used an OS FX .91 with a slimline pitts muffler... That combo is about 6 ozs less than the SK 80 and muffler that both the manual an RCU's review say it will balance within the 2 1/2 - 3 1/4 range... well.. I had to add 18 ozs of lead on the engine mount just to get it to balance at the 3 1/4 " point... I will add another 2 - 4 ozs just to be on the safe side for the first flight.
