Sound like you have a winner. If you have enough speed to do all the maneuvers. I reduced the prop on mine from 12x8 to 12x6 and it helped with the landing speed. Maybe a 13x6??? I have heard that some of the big pattern flyers will cut the engine on final to slow it down for landing??? Ask Don or Humberto??

I really like the supplied aluminum landing gear. It's the strongest gear set I have ever seen on a ARF. I just replaced the screws with socket heads with lock washers. They have never come loose.

I used some clear dope to cover all the coating tips and seams. This is poor covering and it will come loose of not secured, especially on the bottom when fuel get on it. The only maintainence I have with my plane after 60 flights it re-ironing the covering[&o].

Enjoy this fun A/C.
