Default RE: Peppermint Pattie

No Problem, Ryan.

For the 60 size, for myself I am thinking about using an HP Gold Cup w/ Jett muffler (very similar to the setup I had in the late 70's, webra speed and magic muffler). Any strong 60 would do just fine. I'll be starting a build thread on the 60 when I finish my Jr Skylark (in the antique section)

The anhedral on the stab was a post-build adjustment, if I recall I used 1 inch per side. Maybe that's why I didn't fall in love with the plane, I hate re-building!

As I said, it flew like all 40 size do, they are just not as solid as larger planes. If you're coming down from 2-meter ships, old time pattern will feel strange, I'm sure. Nothing you can't handle, they are very neutral on all axes, but have a bit heavier wing loading, less knife edge capability, more prone to wind gusts, etc. However, screaming along at 120 mph doing a slow roll ten feet off the deck is a real thrill !
