The big Dyna-Flite spit has a weak horizontal tail surface. If it is not too late sheet the stab with 1/16 balsa to give it some straingth. Other wise in a high speed dive you might loose it when you pull out of the dive.

I flew mine with a YS 120 - more power than needed. The only problem with this Spit - it doesn't want to land...

Good luck with the project
