Hi SPEED-PANZER.

I didn't fit the prop but it is a SCHIMITAR. It gives better performance in the climb, even on the real planes. There are not many sites with pictures for these but here is one to buy from: http://www.sussex-model-centre.co.uk...xd.asp?id=1432

I have had a few problems getting the fuel pressure correct from the TUNED pipe, so I have just ordered a Proportional Control Fuel Systems (PCFS) from this web site: http://www.billsroom.com/pcfs/

I have just weighed her using bathroom scales (best I could come up with until I can get it to my office!) and she seems to be between 8 - 9 pounds with no fuel. She is no 3D machine but she flies very true and inverted flight is usually a bit of a challenge for long stretches on my 3D electric but is a breeze with this girl. Due to weight you would have to put a pretty big engine in her to get her to hover BUT why would you want to with a true purpose built pattern ship? If you put a bigger engine, this means a bigger prop and you would have to make her a trycicle undercarriage to get the clearance. She looks very clean with the retracts. I have a larger diameter nose wheel to get the prop clearance taking off from our grass field.

As she flies quite fast with the gear up, going vertical, well she just keeps going! True pattern ship, not a 3D machine due to weight.

Cheers

Keith
