K-Man 15: I guess I was asleep...I didn't realize your age or true experience; with the above in mind let me step back a bit a try again. First: build the Falcon 56 per the plan to ensure an excellent trainer as your first nitro plane. Trace all wing/aircraft parts that are not drawn full size on the CG plan; you may want to build a second wing with less dihedral later. Second: per your background let me suggest an O.S. 40 LA engine for your first nitro plane. This engine is reliable and steady in the air and the price is reasonable and parts are readily available. This should make for a much more docile first nitro trainer that will be a lot of fun to fly. Seek out an instructor who is willing to assist with the build and those all important first flights. Ask ALL the questions you care to and we'll do our best to help you succeed. Most of all have fun with this model...it's a winner!

Soft landings.
