wow, this is getting a bit over my head ($250 plane, $350 engine). I just started flying less than two months ago an I'm in college[&o]

well, I guess I'll start saving, and getting what I can get when I can get it. I had another great day at the field today; a guy was helping me get creative with some routines. I love Cuban 8's, and I added a twist: instead of a half roll, I did a whole roll and did the second half with an outside loop. Not terribly technical, but definitely cool I really do want to get into pattern stuff, and would love to experience what a pattern plane feels like. There are NONE at my club, only 3D and sport.

I tried a 12" prop on my Dolphin with the 46AX. The engine hated that prop, but I sure as heck loved flying with it, so I see the need for a four stroke (swinging larger props). maybe by the end of the summer and when loan checks come out I can swing the Venus 2 and (an O.S.) four stroke.

Thanks for the suggestions, and thanks for the pic; planes always look better in real photographs/in person than they do on the websites.
