Very Cool!
Hey, nice pics. I ordered mine last Sat and am looking forward to flying her. How do you like it so far, have you flown it yet?
Thanks, Dennis |

It's quite stable and an easy warbird to fly. I'll post a video of maiden. |

Mostly propeller. The rest is very sturdy. Be warned that the tail wheel position makes it easy to tip the nose and break props on stony tarmac. |

The scale tail is quite tall, and hitting a small pebble will cause the nose going down and scratching the prop.
Try to avoid rocks. I fly from rocky Tarmac too. |

Strange was because I was looking at the HK Spad. I had a bad take off hitting a pebble with the tail and nosing over at almost WOT. The firewall took the brunt and now I need to do some surgery. Yours? |
