first thought Saito FG 100. Yeah right that thing cost more then my daughter’s car. Next I thought about a GP123. Hmm but would have to sell 10 Saito’s to get that. Last thought is my other 3W 120 with tuned pipes. Snicker snicker. So right now still pondering
if I could make a decision I could have ready to fly by the end of the weekend

That's about when the blue and white one was built by my cousin, it's a rubber band held wing, I build all mine with bolt on wings.

most of it was firewall. The fuse I repaired like we had talked.
The wing still needs to be fixed but I figure a glop of epoxy and will be all good.

Better for us to be twisted than the connecting rod in a Saito, right?
