THANKS CEDRICK, A LITTLE SURPRISED BY YOUR USING AN 18 ON THE SAITO BUT I JUST CHECKED AND IT IS LISTED IN THE "SCALE" COLUMN, AND THE POINTY PROPS DO GIVE A BIT MORE OOMPH THEY SAY.
I SOLD THE GBY RIGHT AWAY PARTLY BECAUSE I BUILD EACH WINTER TO KEEP FROM GETTING CABIN FEVER AND HAVE TO SELL TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE NEXT PROJECT. GUYS IN THE CLUB SAID MY GBY LOOKED VERY REALISTIC IN FLIGHT BUT I DID NOT KEEP IT LONG ENOUGH TO LAND IT WELL. SEEM TO REMEMBER THAT PUTTING THE WHEEL PANTS ON WAS A PROJECT IN ITSELF. YOUR MONOCOUPE LOOKS GREAT. FINALLY TEST FLEW MY HANGER 9 1/4 SCALE TAYLORCRAFT THAT I BUILT YEARS AGO. WITH THE SAITO 180 IT LIFTED OFF AT ABOUT 1/2 THROTTLE. IT FLIES LIKE A BIG TRAINER AND THE 180 IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR THE WAY I FLY. THANKS AGAIN, HAPPY LANDINGS....
DICK
