Don Smith 105" A-26
Looking for a next project to start next year. (I plan a little ahead <g>). Anyway, thinking about the Don Smith A-26. One of my softspots. Got fired up again this weekend watching Spirit of Waco fly. It was parked right behind our booth. Just love the sound of those radical cam loping engines, <sigh> I digress. What size engines work in the Don Smith 105" A-26. I have a pair of Saito 1.20's. Enough? I want to be able zoom pretty good. Not unreasonable mind you. Just attention getting.

They have movie history. We bought the mold a year ago and sent it to Tennessee for production of 5 examples to go alonmg with the one i have here that is close to flight. May have to start another thread on this project.

Definetly the always plane. Am open to all options, have enough to share and the mold is available for more, as well as a gear of my design and some spare engines.

I just got one of these beauties in a terade and are currently "gold plating" all of the systems before I fly it. I was told ir flys great as is but I firmly believe in the concept of "Trust...but Verify"
So..., can any one tell me what the plans show for the CG and what the control throws should be. Mine is powered by twin G-38's and weighs about 38 lbs. dry.
Thanks in advance for any info given to me.
