Crazy isn't it? [X(][X(] I'd sooner have a radial gasser on there with tons of available power at my disposal than to put a 50cc glow radial rated at 4 hp and have to add 4 lbs. on the nose just to make it balance. Make sense now? Moki 150 is 10'' diameter...should look just right for this bird. [8D]

Robert,
In the top right corner you of the last post you will see four icons withe the words reply, quote, edit and fwd. Click on the icon 'reply'.....then write your message as usual in the box. To add photos, click on the bottom where it says 'Click here to upload images and files!' A small window will open with a lot of boxes marked 'browse'. Click on one of them and another window will opern called 'choose which file to load'. Click on the file in your computer where your photos are located. Choose a photo (click on it) and click 'open'. If your photo is large it will be slow to load or may not load at all. Once the photo loads you will be prompted to click 'okay'. Thats it...very easy. I just did it.

Yes you will not find any better craftmanship then Duane. I have had two of his Airtractors and they are great scale flying planes. I talked to him a few weeks ago and he said we was about finished with your plane. He is going to take some time off to help his son then he is suppose to start my AgCat later this summer. Mine will be a winter build, plan to use the Moki engine as well.
Can't wait to see your build, good luck.
