The wife and I left for vacation right after the new Protege .60 ARF got dropped off on our doorstep. I've been pretty busy since we got back and I'm just now starting to put it together bit by bit.

I was very pleased to test the mounting lugs on the Thunder Tiger GP-61 2-stroke with the pre-drilled holes in the Protege's engine mount. They are a perfect fit and I am confident that the GP-61 will be an ideal match for the Protege .60 ARF.

I hope to finish up the plane and have it flying soon. This will be the first plane I've set up with my new Airtronics RDS8000 radio system. I'm quite excited as I believe this is going to turn out to be a very high quality trainer that will be as fun for sport flying as it is for teaching with.
