Kalteisen O2 in Mexico
Here is the finished O2.
Weights 2.75 lbs and uses an OS 32 with a 11x3 APC. Ballistic pull out!!!!!
Still a little nose heavy but flies great.
Feels really light on the wings. Harriers show a very small wingrock but very controllable. Hovers are great Has a very strong will to torqueroll and actualy I let do some of his own, barely moving the sticks
If the wind is calm you can fly some pattern very easily. But as soon as the wind picks up a little, being so light get tossed around a bit.
Flips are insane!!!! I.m using HS81 mg on the tail and HS 85mg on ailerons and rudder. I was kind a waiting for the 81's not being enough but no problems at all, this bird has really a lot of tail auhtority.
Building is great as are all Quinn designs, very precise and accurate everywhere.
I need to add some ProBro decals on the bottom to help in the orientation, can get mixed when is far from me.
Is a really cool plane and I do believe that after some trimming (CG and latteral balance) it will get better.
Saludos.

It was actually an electric plane first and then converted to a nitro plane by the designer. I have an OS .46LA on mine, spinning a 12x4 prop. I sure wish my covering scheme was as good as Jose's. Nice job Jose! If you haven't checked this company out, check them out. The company has several new designs "on the table".

RE: Kalteisen O2 in Mexico
Well after some time triming the plane, I come to the conclution that is great!!!
I moved the CG back a little and now flies great knife edges, increased the elevators throw a little and now waterfalls are awesome,
changed the prop to a 10x3 and while the engine overrevs a little, the response has becomed lighting fast!!! Hovering is a lot easier with this prop, but I need to be on the throttle in level flight to avoid flutter. High speed is a no way Jose for this plane!!!
Is a great plane to do rolling harriers and rolling circles and is helping me a lot to learn this maneuvers.
6oz of fuel last 23 minutes and using 15% Powermaster is not expensive at all. Little head wind and lands at zero speed softly on the 3 points[8D]
Harriers has a little wing rocking that I cant be able to find how to stop but this may be my fingers. I also tested the crasheability and held up really nice hitting a tree and ending upside down on the fiel without damage
All together is a great plane worth to be built.
Saludos.
