<span style="font-size: medium"><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">WOW Tom. that is awesome. this will actually be my first "stick" build, but i've built truss bridges and started on a 1/4 scale model of my dream house with the balsa sticks and such for the framing detail of it. getting ready to build a model of my soon to be shed/workshop also. have to wait for the spring for that one though. i'm kind of glad to get out of the garage though. too much junk and not enough space. the wife thinks she's supposed to be able to park her car and store stuffin there. hahaha!!! i love that plane, though. i'm already biased to it a little just because i like them to begin with. i learned to fly in an LT-25. i can't wait to get into something else. i was thinking about maybe just going straight up clear on the plane. making it look like a bunch of sticks cruising around up there. that would look cool too. why would you go with the bigger engine? is it pretty slow with the .42?</span></span>
