Default RE: Entry level smaller pattern kit.

Vince, you're in for a treat because it really is a great-flying model. But when the muffler breaks off after about 20 flights, you'll want to get one of [link=http://www.pspec.com/details.asp?ProdID=51&category=4]these[/link], model # 4SE51, with the 30-deg elbow. Not nearly as quiet as the YS, but a lot more durable.

Troy's nose ring set-up that is grafted into the cowl is also a good idea, however I can't speak to its durability yet as I've got only about 15 flights after that modification. I know that particular Hyde mount is touted as not requiring a nose ring, but the general consensus is that it does. Does funky things to the thrust line without it.
