Hanger 9 AT-6
Just got one still new in box. Did search here,found usual=retracts need work,reinforce firewall. Most posts from year 02,03.For some reason I'm dying to overpower this plane. I have OS120AX 2stroke and Bison pitts. Will this airframe hold up to this much power??? Anyone using YS110 or Saito 125?? Something more than 91FS.

It cooks with a Satio .91 in it, no reason to go larger. It's light and fast. Anything bigger and you are going to need to add tail weight. Order the AT-6 struts from Robart, bore out the original retracts and you'll be fine.

I'll try the Robart struts. I already have the OS120AX 2stroke and pitts muff sitting here from another plane. Will this airframe hold up,especially horizontal stab?? Reason I asked about YS110 is I thought speeds would be close with 120AX. I had not heard about Saito 115.

91ZULU, I believe you are right. This is really a good looking plane. I have OS91Sur11 I'll use and find someone to panel line,weather,and dirty this bird. THANKS,RACJ

I'm really disappointed that discontinued this plane. I ended up with the E-flite T-6, which I'm very happy with, but I would love one bigger and gas.
God Bless and good-luck!
