RE: O.S.70 Surpass whos got what with what?

The OS 70 surpass is perfect with the ucando 46. It flies well with a 13x6 prop, but I think it does a little better with a 14x4.

RE: Building the world models clipped wing cub-48

I have had this plane for about 4 years and agree that it's a great flyer. I like it for just puttering around and doing touch-and-gos.

RE: CG Chipmunk engine/muf and covering Question

Thanks for the replies. I will start with expanding the cut-out for the cylinder head. If that doesn't work sufficiently, I might try the split-cowl method suggested by minnflyer. I'm still...
