Default RE: Royal Kits

I have been a big fan of Royal P-38s for 30 years, and remember every one I saw and always asked how much weight and power when I saw one.. I finaly got my first one going years ago and have in process two more. The lightest I have seen is 11 pounds. Mine, the one I flew just yesterday weighs 13 pounds. With no flaps its a little heavy on landing. But most I have seen are about 12 pounds. Wing loading? most ARF flyers would not beleve[X(]. For power I have seen K&B .40's to 91FS's. My belief is that two .46 two strokes are perfect. The best that money can buy. Don't be cheep. If you lose one you will never forget it. Or just blame it on the radio!!
