Default pica aeronca sedan

i just bought one of these, i kinda wanted something cub like but yet different then a cub.

does anyone know how they fly? do they tip stall? any bad habits i should know about?

i live and fly at 8000' and i want to put a small camcorder in it, so would a 4 stroke 1.20 be to much? or maybe the saito 100

thanks

Brian,
I flew one for 4 yrs till I traded it off. Mine had an OS 91 4c and that was more than plenty at 500'asl. Your idea of 100 should work fine at that elev. No bad habits at all unless you try to rotate too soon. I really liked the look of the sedan as it was wide and squatty. I would suggest you use two wing servos instead of one in the center.

I read a post from someone who complained about the plug in wings causing havoc with the cabin area when he had a wing strike. This would probably be the case with any similar design. Don't crash I guess is the answer.[]

Flew one for several years and it had no bad habits. I'd go with the 120. The airplane does a beautiful inverted flat spin ,however give it plenty of altitude to recover.[8D]
