RE: Spot On 50 Build log.
Very Happy with the plane at this point. This is my first Pattern Plane.
Flew my Spot On 50 today in 13 - 17 mph winds. It cuts through the wind like a knife, in fact this is the best plane I have flown in the wind. It was like the wind was not even there. Was doing flat turns , knife edges in a circle and rolling circles. Still need a little weight aft but it is very tolerable. My OS. 46 with a 12x4 APC has enough power to do the job, and at WOT can pull it in the vertical. I would not buy a bigger engine for it.
Also, looks like this model is being discontinued.

RE: Spot On 50 Build log.
Hi Uncas. Good or you. It is a beautiful ane that cuts through the wind. I installed a os55ax with a Pitts muffler. Growls Really beautifully. I collapsed the undercarriage during a hard landing, so had to reinforce it very thoroughly. It is now very strong. Problem is the stickers that keep coming off. So if you see thus, take a pair of scissors and round off the edges. Happy flying.
