Rs,

Actually I thought of adding wing struts and maybe wires on the tail. The hardest part was getting a glow driver that worked. I gotta say that glow driver really makes a big difference on low idle reliability. Once I get the engine more broke in I will lean the setting a bit more. As it stands now with the .80 and stock 11oz fuel tank we were getting about 12 to 14 minute flights on her. This should increase measurably once the engine gets broke in. This plane literally flies well at just below and just above 1/2 throttle. I am turning a 13x6 prop now and may change it to a 13x8 later this year. I need to get a different spinner for the plane yet and tie up some of the wires from the radio install and charge the batteries before next Sunday. Can't wait!

Best Regards

Paul
