Guys,

Glad you like the Toledo Special.

I designed the plane so I can answer any questions you might have on it. Here are some features of the plane.

2-stroke, 4-stroke or electric option right out of the box
bottom hatch for EP battery access.
2-peice wing
Bolt on tail
Control surfaces pre-hinged
Control horns installed
Clear cowl for ease of 2 and 4-stroke installation and cutting of fiberglass cowl.
Semi-symetrical airfoil (same as Pulse 40XT)

The plane flies extremely well and has classic looks with modern day performance. Great touch and go machine. It slips great and is alot of fun to practice slips with. Rudder is very powerfull and has no issues with knife edge, snaps, spins, and many other aerobatic manuvers, or throttle back a bit and just cruise it around.
The most difficult (or time consuming) part of the build is installing the windows. I built one in a singe evening after work.

We will have one at SEFF next week if anyone is going.

Hope that helps.

Matt
Having issues mounting the OS 81 FS - a. The mounts dont support this engine. When installed the mounts a very bowed out. What can be done about this.? I know the manual says it can support the SATO 81 but what about the OS.?
