Very interesting. I'm starting to wonder when my first Senior might have actually been built. It's definitely not a metal mount. I might have to take some shots of the mounting and post here for posterity.

I've heard all the oohs and ahhs about having a large engine on the plane and when I first got it, there was a 50 Saito on it. It flew around fine. Funny thing though, it was only after I put the 91 OS 4-stroke on it that I started to have folks say that they've never seen a plane fly so slow. Yup, SLOW.... Just cuz it's there, doesn't mean that you've got to have it full throttle all the time. Folks still talk about my first Senior at both of the fields that I frequent and not about how fast it goes. They talk about its stability and smoothness, even when puttering around the field.

I'm thinking of doing a build thread on the build up if anyone might be interested. It will have a different slant to it as this will be my first kit and it'll be a great way for my dad and I to spend some time. We'll see.
