I have four of these planes.

I've primarily run them with Tower Hobbies .46 engines, pitts mufflers and dubro anti-vibration mounts. This gives it gobs of power.

DO NOT use the included tail gear.

Order a handful of these instead.

Gotta love the price!

Then angle the tail gear once installed so the plane sits more level.

It will tend to yaw quite hard, and making it sit level will help a lot.

When you trim it out before the first fligth you want it to roll slightly to the right with the controls centered to help deal with the left yaw at runup.

It can take standard servos all around.



I use the above ( white version ) filler to fill the plane with the cowl on, and it's very nice in that you can pinch test the engine with the cowl in place.

Do not fly it with the wheel pants on for the first few flights... you may want to try oversized foamy wheels which will permit you to land it in the grass as well.

I'd also recommend hitting the covering with an iron before you start the engine the first time and hitting the entire plane ( not the clear plastic ) with Top Flite clear coat spray to seal the seams. This will prevent the fuel from attacking the trim adhesive.
