1/3 scale Full Tilt Boogie
Hello

I recently picked up an out of production Full Tilt Boogie deluxe kit. This was kitted by KT.Avaition. The Kit is 1/3 scale and is the same size as the Hostetler plans.

Can anyone tell me how well the plane flys and what the optimum motor is. I was told and 80cc would really do the plane justice.

This is a builders kit, The quality looks great. The 2 piece cowl, fuselage,3 piece wheel pants/spats, and wing tips are fiberglass. The kit has foam wing cores and a
clear canopy.Bulk heads for fuselage included but no balsa.

Hostetler plans and Shattleroe landing gear were bought as extras. If I build this kit
I will have the to build it with built up wings.(wood)

I probably won't get to this for a while since I am building 2 Pepino 1/4 scale Waco YMF-5's from plans and scatch building.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
