Default Hanger Nine PT 19

I have been flying one for about 2 years now. One thing I think you should be aware of, is that if you get it too slow on landing, it will abruptly stall and drop a wing. I suggest that upon your first test flight, that you get it up high, and stall test it to see what happens. You might be suprised.
I first flew the plane with only a Super Tiger .90. It flew Ok but was lacking on power. I later switched to a G-23 and was much more pleased with the performance.
Another weak point with this plane is the landing gear mounts. I currently have the RoboStruts installed and they help, but if I had it to do over again, I would have gone into the wing and did some reinforcing.
Overall it is a nice plane, and with some minor modifications, it makes a great first giant scale.
