This should be one fast plane with any of the recommended engines. I have no doubt that my OS 1.60 with a 17X10 prop will pull this thing to about 120mph. I'll be making the control surfaces as tight as I can, don't want a bit of flutter to take it out!

I think I'll set the airbrakes up, but I will not have the top flap move up much (use the short of the horn for the top flap). I find I like the drag split flaps give me, so the air brakes should make it pretty close to a plane with large split flaps in how it lands. If I do end up running the 17X10 I will need some drag or the thing will never slow down! Split flaps also don't seem to have as much ground effect as regular flaps, something that can get a bit tricky if your flaps have a lot of throw causing the tail to want to stay up after touch down.
