GageeBees, Thats a great shot of your Stagger. Well that settles it for the engine. I was wondering if I should try my new GT-36 or my 270. What size tank do you use and how long will it run on your tank? I need to find a set of retracts and I will be complete. Thanks roy
Thanks Roy. I went with a 28 ounce tank. The 2.70 will run a solid 10 minutes at wide open throttle but I rarely open it up much more than 3/4. It'll take off at just over half throttle and is happy cruising around at that setting as well.

Here's a set of retracts for sale: http://www.rcuniverse.com/market/item.cfm?itemId=488937

You can also order them from Iron Bay.

You're really going to love how well this plane flies. It's one of my favorites.
