@bigedmustafa I think this is the way I am going to go. I like the look of the plane and I could use my existing motor too - although I will more than likely break down and purchase a bigger motor.

@TimBle I want to wait a little before getting into taildraggers. Will probably be the third plane which is around a year from now. A lot of people have mentioned the Ugly Stik to me, but honestly, I think it's a hideous looking plane. It just looks like a square flying thing.....

Thanks to all for the advice and help - always appreciated.
