Tough choice. I'm not familliar with the Dragon lady, so I'll reserve comment except to say that it sure does look nice.
Skybolt or Skylark... I really like them both but they are two very different planes. The Saito 91 will pull both of them nicely, although I did get a lot of grass stains on the Skylark prop.
They both have similar flying characteristics, But the Skybolt, being a Bipe has a bit more drag, but it's a bit more aerobatic. The Skylark is a bit smoother and precise.
My Skylark will be living about 50 miles south of you by next week in Port St. Lucie. If you like, I could put you in touch with my brother and you could take a drive down and see it fly.
Mike,
I would enjoy talking to and meeting your brother down in Port St Lucie to see the Skylark fly - thanks. I am beginning to favor the Skybolt as my next project. I had a Lou Andrews Aeromaster back in the early 70's and really had a good time with it. This week end I am working in the TX impound for a vintage RC fly in and I am sure I will see several Skylark 56's.
The reviews are a real help in deciding what direction to take and what equipment seems to work well - we all appreciate them. I read both the Skybolt and the Skylark review that you wrote.
Thanks
Howard
