Thats cool ! I still haven't even started[] because of other projects but I did pick up a Super Tiger 2300 for it. Did you use the wire landing gear and just put in bigger blocks in the fuse?

I left it all stock. The blocks are a bit too hard and the holes a bit too tight, so I cracked one. Slathered it down with epoxy and then re-drilled it. I wasn't too impressed with the pull-pull, either. Very little room for adjustment on that.

This winter I'll probably move the tank over the CG, and stick a smoke pump into it.

Everyone complained about the wire gear but I like that type for this style plane. It looked as if all was needed was to replace the blocks with a couple slightly larger ones. Does the plane do anything cool that you didn't expect? and are you using the quad flaps or crow as they call it? I have watched guys fly some models with crow set up and it is cool how slow the plane can fly.

Hey Mike I forgot to ask if you know how heavy it is

No idea what the weight is. I'm amazed at how light the fuse is, where the wings are a bit on the heavy side. The wire gear seems fine. I can't imagine landing hard enough to bend it without doing other damage, just because of how light the wing loading is. Very slow landings! I haven't flown mine enough to do more than begin getting to know it, but I did do just a tiny bit of knife edge yesterday. I was surprised at how neutral it was, but we'll see what it's like on a calmer day. I've had it at the field twice, and each trip was a spur of the moment thing. I've still got to get crow programmed. I've played around with the flaps and have a small bit of tweaking to do.

Ya I'm thinking that setting up the crow would take a little time to figure out. When this plane came out it was considered a 3D plane but not compared to todays 3D planes. I don't expect to much on that end but it must be a blast to fly with those thick wings. I bet with that YS 110 you hit a great combination of good power with a light wing loading which always makes for the best fun. What did you use for servo's ? Please don't say your using $100 servo's because I'm cheap and was wondering what others are getting away with for servo power You have me thinking about getting this one done first now

I used JR 821s on most of the surfaces, with a 4721 on the rudder. I really like the 821s for glow planes. I've been buying them up off RCG at about $20 each, sometimes less. While the control surfaces are large, they're split up with four servos on the wing and three on the tail. I figure between that and the slower speeds I'm not pushing the 821s too much. I do need to re-think my receiver battery. I went with a 6v, 2,000mah NiMH pack. I'm a bit concerned that the 8 servos will draw that down faster than I'd like, so I'm thinking of going with two $15 Lipos from Hobby City. I probably don't need to do that. I have a feeling my pull-pull lines are too tight, and that my rudder servo is drawing more juice than it should. If I get around to putting a good, adjustable pull-pull into it this winter that might resolve my concerns.

I was a little leery of the wing attachment, but it's working fine for me. I'd suggest having a good look at the glue joints you can reach in the fuse. A few of mine needed some extra attention.

I am thinking of this plane mainly the because of the price.
I am wondering has anyone put a DLE 20 or 30 on this plane.
I'm more into the funfly type of flying.
I have a 30cc Goldwing MX but nowdays with the price of her being well over 400 dollars, IT maynot be be my daily flyer. I also have a small private runway that I fly off of and like the Ideal of crow.
My favorite daily plane I fly is a twist but with the price of nitro I'm slowly switching my fleet over to gas
