Anyone have this? what engine did you use? would flapperons or spoilerons be prefered for landings? current engine choice is saito 100, os 61 sf, irvine 72.

I must have strange taste if no one has gotten this yet.

I have one I built from a kit, put a saito 91 in it and it flies great, I think anything over a 91 4-stroke would be over kill. this is a light plane. I don't know what the arf is like but if it flies like the kit version it will be a keeper.

thanks for your reply I might save the 100 for something else. by the way did you use standard servos on this?

I used hitec 545 servos for everthing except the throttle. I went with servos in each wing and one servo each for the rest. regular servos would probably do but I had these so I used them. One thing I did do was to enlarge the rudder by about 25%. This plane will land at a crawl with no hint of snapping, stalls are straight ahead and easy to recover from.
