<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">Steve thanks for the link looks like a good site going to need some hardware special screws and stuff great appriciate it. Been trying to find a manual or some sort of instructions on the net for this aircraft. but i think im out of luck on that one.

This plane was given to me and the firewall has to be replaced had some sort of gas engine on it i plan on putting anOS 160 on it or somethingn of that caliber. Have a SPE 26cc gas engine but i dont think it would be enough power for this plane. Im sure a 50cc would be a great engine for it, but im trying not to dump to much into it. Still have to get some good servos for it and thats gonna be expensive.
Mainly just looking at hardware first then electronics and power second. Striker Appriciate that there is some input on this model. i kinda figured it would be like the Leage extra 330L i have, not popular apperently. But since it was a gift I have to realize there is a reason why it was given to me. lol

The friend i fly with told me to keep it light. So im going to try to. Heapperently he had it flying once upon a time. But then gutted it to use the parts in some other model and so it sat in his shed and eventually everything that pertained to the model got misplaced.Think the biggest obstical will be rebuilding the firewall has a big hole in it, since the engine that was on it had the carb that comes out the rear of the enigne im thinking..

So i'll post some pictures of that on here as i get to that part of therestoration of the plane..Keep up update on my progress.</span></p>
