The 12" props are a little too long. The plane sits pretty low to the ground, and they would get snagged in the grass.

As pointed out by others, there's a *lot* of SE-related info the Fun Flying forum <http://www.rcuniverse.com/forumdispl...?s=&forumid=21>. Just plug in the right words in the search box and a bunch of good threads will come back.

For longer legs on mine (mine is powered by a YS53 and I use 12" props), I just bolted on a set of AL ALY gear from a Great Planes Extra 300 ARF. The GP part nmbr is LXTA07 - a bit wider stance and almost an inch higher I think.

The 1/16" wing sheeting that came with my kit was way too soft for my taste so I went to my LHS and hand-picked some sheeting that was a bit stiffer and I extended the center sheeting out one rib bay then covered top and bottom out to the end of the center sheeting with 2 oz. glass cloth. I saw the wings fold on a "stock" SE during some wild maneuvers - THAT was the reason I did what I did.

I've seen one SE with the Macs Products stubby tuned muffler (GP #LXZ652) added to the OS46 - made a noticeable difference in power. Fairly quiet too.

You will love this plane and don't let anyone try to pry it out of your hands once you start flying it!!
