Default Re: Byron Pitts (1/3 scale)... little help?

Nice! I had no idea they did that!

Well, my friend reaaaally wants to put a gasser in it, so we're probably going with that. Luckily, the guy rebuilding it is an excellent builder so he's going to do some strengthening and fiberglassing, plus fuelproof everything he can.

He'd prefer a Zenoah, after talking to him today. I'd rather go with something lighter like an MT-50 or 57, but I don't think it's going to happen.

So what do you guys think... G45 or G62?

Man, this is going to be a scary flight

I hope he starts realizing that we have much better construction techniques and flying capabilities now than they did in the 70's! He needs to quit buying old stuff!
