For the engine I am deliberating between a Saito 125a and FG-20 (now that thw kinks seem to have been worked out - of the FG-20 that is). The FG-20 is considerably more expensive and weighs more so I will probable end up with the FA-125 - but I do like the cost of Gas fuel

Wayne - good looking plane. Did you build the rudder stock or add some more area?

I have bult the elevator and stab as per plans but have been considering adding 1'' or so to the rudder. I would like to be able to knife edge the plane and if others can do that on the stock rudder then I won't mess with it.

I hung the 125 Saito GK on mine. It is an awesome combo. This plane flat spins like nobody's business, and is capable of some very violent manuevers. I modified my tail feathers big time. At the very least, go for a bigger counter balance on the rudder.
