Default Finished Taco .25

Got my plan built Taco running this weekend gone, first class design airplane, handles wind very well.
Using a .25fx and 9x5 prop it is ballistic even though engine still new and a little rich.
May need to build another one as a spare...

I have one on order. I built one from the plan, and broke it in half when my tank emptied. I think mine is a little heavy, and look forward to building and flying the newer fat free taco. I really found this plane easy to hover and waterfalls were great. I was flying at 3 lbs 4 oz, and think I can easily get the fat free version well under 3 lbs.

You may also want to try a 10x3 prop. I really liked the slow flight and verticle with the 10 3

yes, I need to use a slower pitch for sure, mine came out at 2 1/2 lbs, I did try to choose balsa carefully.
