I had one of these , I used a Saito 72 for power . It weighs about the same as the 46 2-strokes with muffler. Vertical was unbelievable. I was in love with the plane until i tipped my radio over & it went screaming int a pole & snapped the wing into. AWAT , did you're wing survive you flamed out hover? If so would you be willing to part with it? Let me know. All in all it is a good plane for the money, I'll buy another one eventually. Too many birds as it is. Later
