The size of the engine may be the reason he what's to sell it. Discount the cost of a better engine. You would have to fly that plane a full throttle just to keep it in the air. Dennis

That would be like flying the old Byron Pitts powered by a Q35 Quadra. It flew about like a Falcon 56 with an OS Max .35S R/C on the nose. It would loop and Immelmann from level flight without diving to pick up airspeed, but that was about it. Still, "back in the day" that pretty much summed up giant scale.
