I don't know how slow the escapade can go. I asked my buddy and he said it should float down. Like the simulator - the escapade went where I pointed it. On the simulator I pull back on the throttle and the plane slows down really fast. The escapade just keeps on darting forward. Next time (I don't know if it is adviseable) I'll take it up high and see how slow it can go before the wing stalls.

Engine question: If I see a small pooling of oil/fuel on the bottom of the crankcase (where the back plate meets the crankcase) - is there a leak? The magnum xls 46 (the one I have) does not have a gasket.

What do you guys think about an OS 46LA?
That 3rd landing was Beautiful..As far as the OS 46LA I have a 10 and a 15..very simple and reliable engines. They aren't powerhouses but a fool could tune them.-BW
