RE: GP Waco?
Hill good luck on the maiden. I am out at the field with mine also. It is a nice day here in the south. And it helps that there is no Gamecock football on today so i can enjoy the whole day.

Skillet,
It is my sincere desire that nothing bad happens, but you might want to check the AMA Safety code, Section A, sub-section 3a: You cannot fly it at any event until " The aircraft, control system, and pilot skills have successfully demonstrated all manuevers intended or anticipated prior to the specific event."
As the plane has not yet been test flown, you would be in violation. Please believe me, the AMA and their underwriter would be looking for any excuse to NOT pay on a claim. I'll not pursue the issue any further but I hope that you comply as it is in everyone's best interests.
Best wishes in all cases.

RE: GP Waco?
Would be interested in input concerning the CA hinges on the control surfaces...
Would be adequate for serious aerobatics, changed, pinned, just some serious opinions...
Just got the box opened, appears to be well made, and good quality.....if changes are to be considered now is the time to plan...

RE: GP Waco?
You know I have always heard that you should not use ca hinges on gassers. Just like no nylon geared servos on gassers. ( that one I can attest to [8D])

RE: GP Waco?
I had that same though train for a while when I first started switching to gas. Then some guys at the field said it was more to do with the quality of CA hinges and the method of putting them in. Don't over soak them in ca because they will harden and become brittle. And being that this plane is made to fly slower and not in a 3d manner. Now as for the Nylon gears that is lesson I learned the hard way also and will never repeat!

RE: GP Waco?
Don't know if you guys are members of the Tower Super saver club but if you order a 1 large (300+) item a year it pays for itself. You get emails at least once a month for 50 off 300! A great value! I order at least that 3 to 4 times a year so I save big! Think about it. the plane you get 50 off plus free shipping! Turn around and order the Engine and save another 50. And if you need a receiver and some batterys and servos well there is another 50 off an order!! The membeship is about 19 a year! Best deal i have seen going!

I want one, but I would have to shell out 599 Euros = $833 [X(] That's about double of what you guys pay in the US
How many of you thing it's worth buying at that price?

But that is not where she looks good. Now I will say this if it is windy alot where you are at the plane DOES NOT like wind. I guess the 2 wings and big round body really catch it.

Is it a cross wind that the plane doesn't handle well, or a head wind?
Also, are any of you putting a propeller hub on the nose? I haven't found one.
Thanks.
