You ought to fly it.I have had one for about 6 years.Great flying
plane if you make a few mods,like dont glass the tail use covering
and I used k&b 28s with the rear mount to move the engines
out a 1/4 inch instead of the wood platforms that your suppose
to mount them to.The engines kept coming loose,I whack them off
even with the fire wall.Its comes out at a better balance.The tail
gets way to heavy sheeting and glassing and moving the engines
a little forward also helps quit a bit.I like mine so much I had the
plans blown up to 96 inch ws and built one from scratch and i
like it even better.awesome on a low fly by with them k&bs in
tune.
