If you can get your hands on the May 2002 issue of R/C Report, there is a great construction article in it of this aircraft. I have one still in the box, it was on sale, because my buddy had one and it flew beautifully with a Magnum .52FS. Like the article, he said to get all the aileron throw you can get, even go so far as to have ailerons on both wings. Enjoy your plane, mine is a winter project.

I DID have one until I deadsticked it and broke the fuselage in half and right now I really don't want to repair it with the good weather here and other planes to fly. Good construction & covering. You do need to go extreme on the ailerons. I had a Magnum 52 in mine and wouldn't hesitate putting a 61 2 stroke in it instead.

I worked on it today and had some problems i had to fix.The right wing saddle had to be built up almost a 1/16 to let the fuselage to set sqaure to the wing.This had to be done before anything else could be done.I got as far as putting on the caben and N strutts and the stab pieces.Its a neat little airplane that i'm really looking forward to flying.
