Default RE: Dragon lady engine

My Dragon Lady is powered by a Saito 120 which seems to be a perfect fit for this plane - it is mounted on a GP adjustable engine mount. I also moved the aileron servo(s) out to each wing and got rid of the torque rod, replaced the wind screen with a canopy from a GP Super Sky Bolt, replaced the wheel pants with ones from a GP RV-4 arf and moved the rudder and elevator servos all the way aft. I also replaced the tailwheel with one used on a GP RV-4. This is an exceptional plane that flies honestly and is very similar in performance to the Super Sportster. It does not look like all of the other present day planes that all look just like each other with different colors - the Dragon Lady has classic looks.
