Nice plane, I do question the prop or is it just the picture?

After I posted this I just had to take another look, and if you look real close you can see the lower blade.

You couldn't have picked a more perfect camera angle and back ground to do that.

Default PROP

The new single blade props are MUCH more efficient than the older two bladed ones.

Building Tips? Well as i said before, going by looks I never even considered this thing had it not been a free replacement for the Texan and the only one i ever saw was the one i am going to beat in a couple weeks. I have 10 flights on this thing and to be honest here, I think it is on its way to becoming my favorite speedster.
* If you take a objective look at this thing, it is really a "high wing" type plane. The wings are thin and strong. I glassed them together for added security. I also glassed the firewall joints and a few stringers. I also use Kavan wheels---on all my planes. For those who have never used them they are a hard plastic which will slide the plane sideways without that bad wheel hop which can take out the gear.
* Some of the screws for the control horns are not long enough but that is minor. I also installed a homade glow drive on the G 90 Overall it is a darn nice plane.

Although i am an OS fan, I'll put my G90 up against the 91fx in reliability and perfromance.
