Hmm... I think I'll try the 9x5 prop then. I just wasn't sure if I could go any bigger on that small of an engine. Every chart I ever seen said the 9x4 was max, but, maybe thats just a guideline. Heck, I dunno.

Also, I do have an aluminum spinner nut like that on the engine. I just think the plane looks goofy without the spinner on it.

The control surfaces may possibly move more than recommended, I haven't checked. I just pulled the plane out of the basement and went over everything to make sure they were all straight and moved correctly. I sure had to tweak a lot of things on it. Evidently you don't build everything very well when you were 17. hahaha.

I don't really like flying without an instructor. My friend insists I learn this way because "The old guys had to learn someway." To which I tell him, "You know I'm just going to laugh when you finish your $700+ warbird and turn it into scrap wood on take off, right?" Yup, thats right. He is so stubborn he won't even take my advice to at least start with a trainer. He instead has to scratch build himself a Warbird. Ohhhhhhhh boy.

Shaggy: Oh awesome. I know about you guys... but don't I need a military ID to get on base? I don't even know how to get one (or if I can get one). Heck, they didn't even give me one when I was a cadet. LoL. Anyway, what are your dues and initiation fee? It isn't crazy like the other local club that is 250+ is it? I'm a college student, I can't afford that just yet! (I can pay you in Ramen noodles!)
