It needs a nelson.

[@trastek92]

Can this be done as a trike vs tail dragger?

[@AA-dx4ql]

I'm very interested in buying and building one of these looks like a fun one!! How does this plane handle windy conditions?

[@nxnw]

Assuming you're not talking hurricane force winds, you'll have no problem at all with wind. Low side profile will keep it from blowing across the runway in crosswinds and the low front profile keep it from loosing too much speed into the wind.

@@nxnw yea , hurricane type winds ,lol 😆 awesome, thanks for the info on this plane!!

[@stevebarr9604]

Yes glow power handles the wind much better than the foam electric stuff!

[@mgpmbass3616]

Would an O.S. 55AX be too much for it?

[@osmw]

Well, it wasn't made for that large of a displacement in racing. But for sport flying you could probably get away with it. You might need a little more work on getting the C.G. right as that motor will weight a little more. Also, I would suggest wrapping the wing's center section with a layer of fiberglass cloth and export to strenghten it for the higher g-loads it could experience.

Is this an ARTF or a KIT?

[@nxnw]

We only make kits.

[@ripmax333]

Mark Lanterman that’s great! Do you also post to EU?
