Awesome story and video. And i thought the music was just perfect for it!

Thank you so much for the kind words. This plane holds a lot of sentimental value for me and I'm glad you enjoyed watching it.

[@MrDougstud]

Hey thanks!

Technical questions where the cg is located? Did u have to add weight to the nose with that engine ?thanks

[@MrDougstud]

Sorry but I received this plane with no literature. It spent many years dormant and only had to make it fly able again. I know the existing setup needed no additional nose weight. You may be able to get more info directly from Proctor. Sadly despite loving the sound of that beautiful Saito engine I'm currently doing an electric conversion to my Antic. I hate the glow mess so much it keeps me from using it as much as I'd like to. I know this decision will be unpopular with the purist. I'll post another video when it's done. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the info I flown mine the. Other day same case got it from someone I have a .75 two strokes I thought I had the cg right and I was lucky to have it back in one piece so I have to re do the cg back again I'm thinking on a .91 4 strokes for it ,yep electric is not my deal I have a taube electric and is boring prefer glow or gas anyway thanks for the reply

[@MrDougstud]

Your two stroke 75 should be very close in weight to my Saito 82. With a full tank of fuel it's very unlikely that your Antic is tail heavy. Keep in mind this plane generates a tremendous amount of lift and might appear tail heavy but with the right amount of down trim it should fly very nice. Keep in mind also that the Antic is an extremely slow flyer and at half throttle will be off the ground in 20 feet. Speed is this planes enemy and will only cause it to go out of control. Aileron differential and or aileron to rudder mix is a must if you're not comfortable making coordinated turns with both control surfaces.

A very nice video, but for me completely spoilt by the music. The Music we want to hear comes from the engine.

[@MrDougstud]

Thanks for the compliment on the video. Sorry you're not a fan of the music.
