    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    LOL not the way I would design it. Unless it was something that Stangflyer would want I would be designing more along the lines of a normal fattie size just as a slab like I did with my 55cc profile. All other 55cc profiles out there are in the range of 2000 sq in of wing area. Mine is only...

    I have made a little progress but not much as I have been more focused on the DLG I got. If you can remove 7oz I say do it. It’s still going to be anemic on power but it will be better.

    SOLD! 55cc canister setup

    Headed and canister setup for the DLE or EME 55cc engines. Both I bought used but have never been used. Headed is the hobby king one and the canister is a front dump style from EME. Whole setup sells new for $80 plus shipping so I’m asking $60 for it all and that includes shipping.
