2 YEARS THATS WAY TO LONG FOR A PROFILE TO LAST 
lol the truth is a swany plane with the fiberglass backbone tube will last forever as long as you dont fly it into a brick wall or tear off the wing.

Thanks,
Yup these days it is relatively hot.. no clouds ... wind along runway axis .... ideal for flying..
But I need time.... man these days am stuck at work even on weekends...

I built a Fat Free Taco for an R/C Report kit review and it is a great little plane. Super flying. Does all the 3D stuff, easy on fuel, easy to carry. Excellent engineering design.
I have used both an OS .25FX and a Magnum .28. A buddy had a Thunder Tiger .36 in his and didn't like it. Said the power was too sensitive.

I have a couple of hitec hs-85mg and a hitec 555 rx I can take out of my zagi, will these servos be a good choice for this? what mini servos are in your taco?

But your review was my first reason to suscribe to R/C Report. After this Gordon has managed to keep me renewing this. Great magazine.
Sorry for the hijack and returning to Tacos: HS-85 MG are the only way to go on this plane. Before this I kept buying spare gears for the HS-81 by the dozen.
Mine flies with 25FX and APC 10x3. Actualy is my second one. First last about 1 year of heavy abuse. I was retired due to fuel soaking
Pauly has a great design here and you will learn to hover and do things that you never dream before.
Right now my favorite maneuver is the elevator that end in a harrier landing.[8D]

any other ideas I might be missing out on? There seems to be few 25 size aerobatic or fun fly types available.
I checked out the Casablanca ARF at Singapore hobbies, but it would cost about 227.00 US dollars to ship to Wisconsin. nice, plane, but not that nice!

I also ordered a FF Taco. I'll use HS85mg servos and a Norvel 25 "Big Mig" engine. Looking forward to a fun "knock-around" fun-fly plane.

I just finished designing a 25 size Mojo that should be ready for kitting soon..... A buddy of mine is building the prototype now. This one's gonna use a CF Tube in the fuse and interlocking rib and sheer web design. It'll work for both glow and electric.

A 25 size Mojo should be awesome, besides my 25 is one of the most strong engine i have and mated with a bird like this should work great. Keep us informed when is for sale.
Thanks.
