Hello, Flying thses big planes means a drive for most. But its worth it to be safe and have a good time. I know we drive 45 min no matter where we go. Later John |

Hello, You know the cool thing is we do this custom work for almost the same costs as pre-painted planes and its your design. Also Stephen didnt know he was getting this plane. His dad and I cooked this scheme up and surprised his last week. His drool was all over the place. We needed a mop and bucket. LOL later John |

Hello, With the 3W157 and the Fromeco setup its 40lbs 2oz. Mile Milos has this same setup less the fromeco box setup and his is 39lbs 8oz and the 157 hauls it like you wouldnt believe. Mine was 39lbs 3oz with a DA on MTW's and John Nelons was 38.5lbs with JR, DA150 and MTW's. So most are 40 or less. Later John |
