Baz,
The 1.20 might be a little much power for it. Ive only done static engine runs so far and was really impressed at the amount of thrust the plane had. Ive only flown planes with .40 size motors on them so far though. Did you find a replacement canopy, I kinda messed mine up and need a replacement before I can fly. ive got the remains of my canopy adn was thinking of using them to make a vacuum form mold good enough to make a few copies but would rather not go thru all the hassle and work if a replacement can be bought. Hobbico has long since discontinued the plane and parts are no longer available for it. let me know what you did for a canopy replacement. Hopefully I wont need to remake a canopy.
I just found this in my email...
the guy has made a wing apparatus for himself with 4 large jet-cat turbines for power
