Are you still loving to fly this bird. Does it maintain its "wow" factor when you take it to the field. Anyone flying it with a 20+cc series gasser, how is it doing? I am still thinking about one of these for an MVVS 1.60 Gasser I got.

Splais, Yes it still has its WOW FACTOR Ive got a 33cc and would recommend finding a way to mount the wheel paints to the landing gear.

Rev,

what is the problem you are having with the wheel pants. I have just started mine. There is absolutely no way to mount the pants to the wire axles in this plane. Also what engine are you using. I expect my MVVS 1.60 to be an adequate, but not wild performer in this plane. Steve

Splais, The wheel paints will crack like a egg shell, they are not flexible enough.The motor is a homelite 33cc turning a 20x8 dynathrust @ 6800. I'm going to try to mount the paints to the wire somehow this winter.I rec a 20in prop Ive tried 18in It works but no thrill. Do a search and see what other people are using to power the plane,most will say its under powered.

I reinforced my wheel pants with fiberglass cloth and epoxy. We will see how they hold up. the MVVS is a great performer for it's size. We'll have to see how it does in this bird.

Splais:

Going to ordered a new set of wheel pants also,for mine..Am planning, as you will do, to reinforce the pants with fiberglass cloth...they are paper thin..also am fling mine with a G-23, 17-6 APC prop...Flys good,but does need a little more power..A new
G-26w/ ignition will replace the G-23..same mounting holes as the G-23...won't fly sometime until next spring..have to get in line for the new G-26...going like hot cakes...just my 2 cents worth.....
