That is still a fairly new plane on the market and I doubt there is much said about it. Being a little Hotrod I suggest you run a bead of epoxy on the in and outside of the firewall and glass the wings together to prevent folding. No retracts to worry about. If I had to guess it could fly similar to the WM Midget Mustang which is very impressive with the right engine????

My brother Brad has one.He's running a Saito 100 in it and it has unlimited vertical. Flys quite nicely.
He was very impressed with the quality of the plane construction, and with the hardware included.
He's quite happy with it, and I'm hoping he'll read this. In fact, I'll send him an e-mail with a link to this thread.

Abd in fact i did read it.. Yes the little toni flys very nice,turns on a dime ,rolls are somewhat slow but very graceful.Knife enge is good lots with lots of stick input. No bad reactions on low rates and havent tried to much on high since i like the way it flys on low,I didnt have any problems with the build. havent seen any problems with my firewall,and I flew it hard yesterday. the only things i can say is make sure you locktite the crap out of the landing gear screws, as mine came loose and turned sideways. Ill post a pic of my engine bay... any questions just ask. Brad

Hey All
I just received my Toni a couple days ago and it sure looks perty. I mean it is almost perfect. The paint is great but the only thing i see is the cowl is a little lighter than the fuse and the paint on the canopy is higher on one side than the other. I read some posts that say you should beef up the firewall but I don't see how you can get epoxy in to the front. Do you just load up a stick and let it drip down to it? I grabbed onto the firewall and gave it a good tug and didn't see any flex to it. And all my formers and servo tray were glued tight. All in all i think its great work by Great Plane. But like the others all said, I'll need to cut alot of cowl off to get my MDS .78 to fit.
Thanks for the tips and please keep them coming, with a plane this pretty I'm going to be working slow to make sure its perfect.
Thanks Rob
