Know what you mean Randy, can't wait to see how it handles with the scale wing. I'm predicting good scale performance, since the stock wing makes it fly like a trainer almost.

As some of you know, I sculpted my own pilot (and made a silicone mold) for this plane, although I never got motivated enough to cast more for other people. I did score some featherweight casting resin that's used to make floating fishing lures and things, it's super light. I wanted to cast a few with that stuff to see how they work out. Hollow casting the pilots is to much work, and I think they could be made lighter with this new resin even if they are cast solid. The resin is mostly filled with a sort of Micro-Balloons or something, cool stuff.
