Bleesweb,
Where have do you fly near Newburg? Mid Hudson RC or WRAM? I have flown a friends Otop with an RX through the Masters schedule and it was quite good. It was a little faster than some of the wider-bodied design but very honest. It is light enought the weight of a pumped OS 1.60 shouldn't be a problem.
I fly at Stormville if you are looking for someone to practice with shoot me an email.
