The new version is smaller at only 54in. The original is 60in. I LOVE mine. I crashed my first one and had to hunt down another. I crashed right before they came out with the new version. I run a ST G75 with a 12x8. There are a two guys in our club that run a 91fx with a 13x11 prop. As you can see my wings were shaved down to about 50in.

The new one has the parts for a glow engine included, such as tank, motor mount and throttle servo mounting. The firewall is very solid plywood, but would probably need to be fuel proofed. They did say that using a .55 glow or above requires you to make sure the servos, pushrods and control linkages are up to the flight loads. The kit uses fairly heavy nylon fittings throughout. Let us know if you supercharge one! Tom |

THANKS TOM!!!
Mounting the cowl is one step where I often drill holes in the wrong location. I just finished mounting my cowl (using your corrected lower side locations) and it came out perfect! If you look carefully you can see the location of the side blocks in the fuse. I'm glad I decided to go with electric power on this plane. I was going to put an O.S. .61 in it but it just seemed to pretty to have oil all over it. |

The review sold me instantly on this model.
Funds have been very low as of late. I'm sure you guys can relate. Today Tower had one listed on the scratch/dent sale listed as "Used-No Damage". So for $140 -$20 I have a "used" Shoestring on the way for $129. As long as the cowls not cut <I'm going electric> Ill be a happy puppy! Tommy D |
