UPDATE:

All happy that I had finally built a plane myself and got it airworthy was short lived when I got to the field and found that the engine would not even get my plane airborne.. The 40 was the low end of the recommended engines for the model but it just went up and then turned to the ground. I don't think that it even got 5 ft off the ground.

I determined from reading other posts that the engine just does not have it to lift the plastic over foam model. I have purchased a 90 Super Tigre and plan to install that.


I will let you know how it goes.
