Yes I used the search function thank you. My deal might be a little different though. Ive been soloing for 10 days, or times over the last 3 months. My current plane is an LT-40 with a Magnum .52 four stroke and I'm bored with it. My second plane was to be a Four-Star 60 kit with a Saito 100 thats allmost finished. I have about 120 hours in this build so far and have covered the fuse and about to cover the wing. Meaning I am about done and am worried about flying it, or really about crashing it. Before it's over with, I will have about $700 just in the build not counting my time building the plane. That comes out to a $2000 plane counting my time.

I'm afraid I will be really, really nervous flying my first low winged tail dragger, and my baby.

I'd rather crash an ARF with a less expensive engine if crashing is in my future. Of course I'm broke after buying the Saito, so buying from Tower using "Easy Pay" is pretty much my only option. Ill have to use an engine I allready have and I am in a hurry, so itll have to be an ARF.

GP Big Stick 40?

Will the Magnum 52 pull it, will it be a good transistion from a LT-40 leading into a 4* 60?

Thanks in advance.

I do NOT want to crash the 4*. I'm worried Ill be really nervous and too "TIGHT" to fly her straight out of trainer-hood.
