One other thing....

A guy further back had a saito 170 radial installed on this plane.... (that is as heavy as a gas engine for the most part)
and he said it worked quit well.... He even stated that it was tail heavy even with that engine up front!.....

If I do get this plane, I will install flaps...and perhaps do some moding to the elevator...? not sure about that part, but for sure the flap install.....

I would think that would make this plane a dream to land....

I would mount a gasser in it then....
