I finally decided on my engine, a Moki 1.80. Got it last weekend at the Sin City IMAC from a local flyer with a Bison Pitts muffler. I'm running it with a Menz 19x8. I fired it up yesterday,like sewerdude to my neighbors delight, and ran a tank full through at various rpm's. My buddy did'nt do me wrong, this thing cranks[8D]. I also switched to a 6v 2000 mil NiMH battery pack and the servo's are a lot faster. I tried some of the trim mods I originally thought about but it looked cheesey so I'm back to the stock trim.

The weather has finally settled down. I am maidening my W.M. Extra 300 today and will maiden the Cap this weekend. All thats left is to hook up the pull-pull on the rudder and re-shrink the covering(again). I'm jazzed about both but especially the Cap as it is my first try at this plane. According to my wife it's the prettiest plane I've ever had. Hope she still thinks so after I bring it home.

Barbie in a bikini has been named the pilot. I'll post some pics and final specs on Friday before the first flight.

BTW Bubba, kudo's to you for your decision on the AW thread. I totally agree.

Wish me luck,
Rod
