Have been reading this thread for some time now off and on and I must agree with a previous poster that all of the advice given is sound ....... but as one who has built and flown GMA Peacemakers (English Version) for many years I am a little mystified by the original complainants problem. All of the Peacemakers I have built have been built to the APS plan with the exception of modifying the fuselage construction to include a 1/8'' plywood crutch with the result that I may have added a little more weight to the original formula .... but not a lot ...... the balance point always comes out just about where Aldrich intended it. I have used Enya 15 and 19 glow engines and have always flown on 60' x .015 stranded lines and the models have been a delight to fly and will do whatever you ask of it. Many years ago we flew without mufflers but in recent times these are now a pre-requsite and even adding the stock Enya muffler to these engines I have not experienced any discomfort in the performance of these models. I use an 8x6 APC on the Enya 15 and a 9x6 on the 19 and of the two I much prefer the use of the 19. In conclusion I must say that this model is probably the best alround C/L model for general use and outright enjoyment and I built my first one nearly 50 years ago and I have not finished yet ............... It is also most gratifying to read reference to many R/C flyers who are desiring to get a handle on enjoyment in model aviation!.......................Keep Circulating!.
