Default Plane #2 ordered.

This is contingent on my getting approval from Bill Me Later's credit department....
If so, anything else I need will come from the LHS.

Well, pending credit approval, you got some building ahead. Take your time and build straight. Should be a fun plane to fly, plenty of power. Not familiar with the plane/engine combo but I'm sure someone else will advise on if it is a good combo. Was it a recommended engine? Enjoy.

Engine's a little on the high end of the size range, but I figure that can be corrected with the throttle. It calls for a .90 - 1.20 2 stroke and this is a 1.40.

I was just told that maybe the 4 Star 60 would have been better to get for a second plane than the 120. I was thinking it would take a few months to build and was told a month at the most.

Should I cancel the order and get the 60?

Wraith, we will probably be on the same page. I am ordering my 4*40 this week. Should be a fun plane. I am putting a 51 on it so i can hover yet go fast also

It's gonna ba a lot of plane. I'd just hate to see you over your head so soon. And it is going to drink fuel. I'd say cancel and downsize but it is your choice in the long run. Remember, don't rush it. I gotta go fly now. Have a good weekend.

Hope that's not a ST 51 your putting on the 4*. No chance of hovering with that combo.
INMO that is.

Just a question for you, why do you need a 2nd radio? your not going from an Aerobird to a 4 star are you?...thats a LOT of airplane and engine for a 2nd plane...I'd go with a 40 myself (since I did) but I havent gotten around to it,and its not my second plane either...Rog
