Spence,

You have got two differnent threads going on the same subject, I answered some questionsin the other thread, but there were a few other questions here. For the 585 wing area you can get away with larger than a 120 4 stroke.

Tom does work at RC country from time to time and is usually competitive in all the races. However, I must disagree with his (and others)assessments of just building the plane stock. My rule is don't get attached to the plane because it may not last, but build it like it will last for many years ofracing. I'vegot a ugly racer that I have had from more than 5 yearsthat would still holdit'sown in gold. She ain't pretty, but she sure is pretty fast.

I've built many WM P-51's/Dago Red's and it is by far one of the most forgiving flyers around. They are strong and don't need much, even for Gold speeds.
