Don't let him buy it! You buy it, put a couple of OS 32FX's in it and have a ball! They are wonderfull flyers, a gass in the wind and I think I had more fun landing that plane than any other I've flown. I heard that they've been discontinued so snap it up quick! If you don't like it, I'll buy it from ya! :D

A friend of mine has his set up with OS 40 LA's and it flies great.....it can really move, and it flies amazingly slow....I couldn't believe how slow he lands it......He really likes it.

It's one of the smoothest flying planes I've ever flown. With os .25 fxs on it it scats and really tracks great. No need for bigger engines.

Had OS-40 FP engines on mine mounted on their sides so the muflers were on the bottom of the wing. Only got 8 min flights, lands like a trainer.
Excellent first twin.

as sad as it is..... Yes, they ARE discontinued...
I stuck .46FX's for something to do...
There was an article about this plane and the only flaw they listed was the tail not being strong enff to handle larger motors..
So I beef up the tail,, and have yet to have a problem.. I am currently doing one but am removing the damn plastic tips..Extending the nose to fit the spring-airs,knife edging the tail surfaces, rounded the fuse,<so it doesn't look so ARF'y>,,reduce the vertical's surface area, and recovering to get rid of that uglyass sticky paper they covered it with...
Opinion: EXCELLENT first twin.. Excellent sixth twin... A real blast to play with...
