Hi, Chris!

GREAT little plane here! In fact, mine just landed on the workbench a few days ago, it's now back to being the current project and I'm going to be finishing it up, so your timing could not have been better! It had been sidelined because I screwed something up and had to repair it before resuming work on it.

I do have a question. I have two choices here for my power plant. I have a new Saito .62, and a new Saito .72. I'm not into craziness or 3-D or hovering, but I'm a very good aerobatic pilot. I've been trying to figure out which way I should strike the balance, by keeping it a bit lighter with the Saito .62 or making it a little faster with the Saito .72. I have been looking at the landing gear and they seem to be pretty darn short, so I'm leaning toward using the .62 and having a tad more prop clearance.

I would enjoy hearing what your thoughts would be on powering it. I'm sure few people have as much intimate knowledge of this model as you do..

It's great (and more than a little bit exciting) to see you in here, Chris!
