bubbagates...

Great info about this plane.

I've wondered myself about adding a bit of up thrust. I have problems pulling out of hovers, not power, but it pulls pretty bad to the wheels when you "snap" full throttle on it. Yet it also seems to be hard to balance in hover and falls backwards.

So...I think the upthrust would help with the sudden acceleration (pulling to the wheels) but what would it do with the balance part? That confuses me a bit. Wouldn't it make it fall backwards even more?

The waterfalls on this plane are amazing to me. It will just pivot on the wing and stay there. I love the KE also. Overall I really enjoy this plane.

As I said, my first gasser...I love it.

Thanks
Barry
