just getting back into the flying part so I ordered a great planes pete n poke kit to get the rust off the fingers anyone have any exp. with it? thinking of using a 52 4cy. Thanks

A friend of mine as built one and I flew it with a Saito .56. I think it is nice easy flier and the little Saito hauled at around great!

Cheers!

Bit of a builder....but flys great - nice and smooth. Doesn't like inverted flying IIRC, but take-offs and landings are smooth!!!

Good choice to 'get back in the grove'..

Must have 25 flights on mine with OS46FX. love this plane!
Very stable flyer and Take-off and landings are very smooth.
Was surprised at how well it does on windy days with that big wing.
You're going to like this plane, it's well worth the build time.

Mine is still in the box!
Have posted a thread on this one but got no reply....
Anyone knows of a review for this kit???
I've heard only good things about this kit......Any
disadvantages!
Please post some pix!

Both R/C Report and R/C Modeler have done reviews on this plane.

A few areas that I encountered that are worth mentioning about building this kit.
1. You may want to re-enforce the wing tips as the monokote tends to want to distort them.

2. The gear fairings are balsa, I changed them later to lite ply as the monokote wanted to bow them as well.

3. The wing cabanes are a bit of a trick, and I added ply gussets
to the corners for additional strength.

Other than that everthing as per plans. Airplane flies great.
Oh, one more thing. I had a 40LA oringinally on the airplane and it was'nt enough power, with the 46FX it now has plenty.

Good Luck!!
