Default Chips Acro maiden flight

The weather was good here in the Chicago area yesterday so I decided to maiden my Chips Acro by Link Models. It flew great. It's a 40 size plane with a Saito 56 up front. The plane came out very light at 5lbs 2 oz. At half throttle it was screaming by. At full throttle it goes vertical forever. I was worried about the balsa wheel pants but they held up great. I'm going to get in touch with Link Models and find out if they make this plane in a 60 size. I posted some pics of this plane in The Clubhouse section under " Showing off my Italian Heritage" a few weeks ago http://www.rcuniverse.com/showthread...lian+Heritage. I would recommend this plane to anyone..
