Default RE: Top Flite Staggerwing

Flew my Staggerwing last weekend with the 160 two stroke. I have two DPM Super Cubs with the 160 twin and beleive both of them are underpowered. So I decided to go with the 160 two stroke and I'm very happy I did. The plane is absolutely solid. I'm surprised how fast the roll rate is, takeoffs are a non issue, slows to a crawl on landing, and stalls are non violent. Be prepared too add at least four strips of nose weight for proper CG. I added the fourth strip this morning because it still was still slightly tail heavy.
