Cloud Dancer 40 or 60

Howdy :0
I got a CD 40 with and Irvine .53 mounted sideways
It's such a sweet combo!!!! good solid flyer slows to a crawl for landing, open it up and it goes very fast very quickly....
The ARF version is very light and easy to put together, only drawback is the cheap cowling and some of the hardware including the aileron pushrods. I did not use the retracts since wi fly from a grass strip.. with pants on it looks cool with the standard gear.
The engine is mounted sideways wiht no problems whatsoever, this is a clean looking and flying airplane.. the covering is ultracote, I put extra red and blue stripes on the underside of the wing and put a bigger tank that the one supplied.
As mentioned it flies very well but won't do knife edges it pulls out of it other than that has no bad tendencies.. it's slim profiel makes it hard to see if it goes too far.
I believe you will enjoy your CD I do!!!

look into the pictures page of the following link and there are a couple of pictures of it
