Fishgod: I appreciate the weight report. I'm still unsure about which engine I'll use. Probably the 46fx or the 52fs. I'll save the LA for my first SPAD!
Wade: I caught that DA150 line... I can say it will have awesome vertical! It will also be a fantastic little yellow post hole digger! That DA oughtta' really remove the dirt with the right prop on it!
This will also be my first funfly. Is the recommended CG conservative? Is there a better starting point? Do the tailfeathers need bracing? They look a wee bit wimpy to me, but I'm an idiot, just ask my wife!
