[stangflyer]

LOL should be here any day.....the engine is another story trying to get a hold of
Vogelsang Aeroscale why is it so hard to get a hold of them?

Putting a Moki 300 in it.

My buddy Tom usually talks to them every other day. Three Moki's, a Valach and a Kolm later....they better talk to him huh? LOL

Even though it is in SC maybe he is not a "native" and has gone to the Check Republic or Germany for business???

I ordered a CompArf Pitts 12....going to put a radial in it.

Awesome! I have an 11 year old Comp Arf Extra. Take care of them and they last forever. Other than the rudder and elevator hinges, they wear, but it's an easy fix.

One of the guys here, Mike, just sold one in that scheme. He had a Moki 250 in his for awhile.

And i say not sure of brand because i have searched high and low and havnt found this one anywhere.. unless its a kit build, because i cant find this scheme anywhere

Judging from your pictures, I'm pretty positive it is a Bob Trueworthy 35% like mine. Bob used to kit the 35% and sell them himself but he doesn't do it anymore. Unfortunately the 35% kit isn't no longer made, but you can get the short kit for the 41% and the 26% from @jtec/radiowave

It is an amazing flying airplane. A lot of guys run 150's in it, but I'm quite happy with a 120

My 1/3 scale Pitts DA50 Great flyer. Thanks

Nice Pitts @Chris

yep, actually 100cc is at the top of the power scale. If you got it light enough it would fly great with a 70. I think an 85cc would be perfect other than I don't like singles bigger that a 50cc.

As for kits, Kit Cutters cuts them so does National Balsa. I think there are more those are just the ones I know of. Fiberglass Specialties has the cowl, wheel pants, gear cuffs and canopy, Abell RC has the aluminum gear but I'm thinking of getting the measurements for it and making or buying a carbon one.

here are the links I have compiled.

We could all do a massive group build and get 4 or 5 of us to build them

When is this starting?? I'm still game for when I get back and moved... so mine will be late, but I want to see them!
